Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake

    Such an easy and simple dessert! It's basically pineapple cake with a cream cheese frosting. It's called Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake because the cream cheese frosting definitely makes the dessert a complete entity, I couldn't imagine one without the other! I brought it into work as a treat tonight at the Olive Garden and I'm happy to say that they loved it!
