  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • Cream Cheese Topping:

Instructions

  2. Mix Cake Batter: Combine cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and crushed pineapple in a bowl until well mixed.
  3. Bake: Pour batter into the baking dish and bake for 28–32 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool.
