Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire can of pineapple with its juice, sugar, and eggs. Mix well.

Add the flour and baking soda to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this ensures your cake stays light and fluffy.

Step 2: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before adding frosting.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk, adjusting the consistency as needed.

Step 4: Frost and Serve
Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. You can chill the cake slightly to help the frosting set, or serve it immediately if you just can’t wait!
