Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose white flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda

2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine flour, sugar, soda and eggs.
Drain juice or syrup from pineapple into above mixture, stirring to combine. Beat to mix; batter will be thick.
Fold in pineapple, mixing well.

To make frosting, beat together butter and cream cheese.
Gradually stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth.

For a lighter dessert serve cake without the icing—it still tastes great.
