This easy Crushed Pineapple Cake is sweet, moist and flavorful. Topped with a rich cream cheese frosting. A can of crushed pineapple plus other simple ingredients are all you need. This Pineapple Sheet Cake is a crowd pleaser and perfect for your next party or event.
6 Ingredients for this Easy Pineapple Cake:
- Eggs
- Sugar
- Flour
- Baking soda and salt
- A can of crushed pineapple - You can also use crushed pineapple to make this Ninja Creami Dole Whip recipe.
This sheet cake is so simple to make. First, mix up the eggs and sugar. I use my stand mixer but you could do this in a large bowl using a hand mixer as well. Then mix in the flour, baking soda, salt, and crushed pineapple. Mix it up until just combined. Be careful not to over mix. Finally, pour the batter into the prepared 9x13 baking dish. I like to line mine with parchment paper to make it easy to lift the cake out. The Crushed Pineapple Cake is done when dark golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Easy Cream Cheese Frosting:
- Softened Cream Cheese
- Softened Butter
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
While the cake cools, make the yummy cream cheese frosting. First, mix together the softened cream cheese and butter. Then (slowly at first!) mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Scrape down the sides a few times in between mixing. Finally you're left with a rich, creamy frosting.
Spread the frosting all over your pineapple sheet cake and top with sprinkles, of course!
This cake just screams summertime! But, due to the canned pineapple and simple ingredients, it's perfect to make year-round.
