Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Frost the Cake: Spread the icing over the warm cake and let it cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the pineapple is undrained to retain the cake's moistness.
  • Use softened cream cheese and butter for a smooth, creamy icing.
  • You can add additional toppings such as toasted coconut or chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
