Why you’ll love this recipe
This cake is perfect for busy days, potlucks, and summer dinners when you want big flavor with minimal effort. You get the nostalgia of a classic church-potluck pineapple cake with a lighter, cloud-like topping instead of heavy buttercream.
- One-bowl batter with no mixer needed for the cake itself, which keeps prep simple and beginner-friendly.
- Ultra moist crumb from crushed pineapple and its juice baked directly into the batter, so no extra syrups are needed.
- Creamy, airy topping made with whipped cream and cream cheese that tastes like pineapple cheesecake in frosting form.
- Ideal make-ahead dessert because it chills beautifully and slices into neat squares for serving a crowd.
