Easiest Pineapple Cake





I love one bowl recipes, and this one is no exception.

You spread the cream cheese frosting over it while it’s still hot, so the frosting melts and seeps into the cake, making it a little gooey and dense.

Easiest Pineapple Cake

Ingredients:

THERE IS NO BUTTER OR OIL IN THE CAKE, BUT SO AS NOT TO MISLEAD ANYONE, THERE IS BUTTER IN THE FROSTING

  • 2 c sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 1 - 20 oz can of crushed pineapple ( undrained ) in it's own juice - not syrup

  • 1/2 c butter or 1 stick
  • 1 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla
