Ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar

• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
2. Put pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan.
