• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-baking dish with cooking spray.
