Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of butter, melted
- 225 g of cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 2 cups of sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (well-drained)
- 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F) and grease and flour a 25 cm cake mold.
- In a bowl, beat the melted butter with the cream cheese until soft. Add the sugar and beat until creamy. Incorporate the eggs one by one and add the vanilla essence.

Notes
Allow the cream cheese to reach room temperature for easier blending. Drain the pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
