Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 oz cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
3 tablespoons pineapple juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the butter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and let it melt as the oven heats.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk and vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.
3. Remove the dish with melted butter from the oven and pour the batter evenly over it. Do not stir.
4. Spoon drained pineapple chunks evenly over the batter. Dot cream cheese pieces across the surface.
5. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice on top for extra flavor and moisture.
6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling.
7. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier cutting and even distribution.
Draining the pineapple thoroughly helps prevent a soggy bottom.
Add a touch of cinnamon or nutmeg if you want a hint of warm spice.
