Delicious Pineapple Cream Cake

This cake features layers of fluffy vanilla cake infused with crushed pineapple, complemented by a smooth cream cheese frosting. The preparation time is approximately 1 hour, and it serves about 10 people.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
Pineapple slices and cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crushed pineapple.
Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
Garnish: Decorate with pineapple slices and cherries, if desired. Slice and serve the cake chilled or at room temperature.
