Instructions

- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix).
3. Bake the Cake:
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Make the Frosting:
- Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Fold in crushed pineapple if desired for extra tropical flavor.
5. Assemble the Cake:

- Decorate with pineapple slices, coconut, or cherries if you like.
6. Chill & Serve:

- Slice and enjoy your tropical heaven! 🌴🍍
