For the Icing:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 stick of butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the undrained pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, and baking soda. Mix until smooth.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
  5. Make the Icing: Beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, beating until smooth and spreadable.
