👩🍳 Instructions

- Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla.
- Add crushed pineapple (with juice).
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.
3. Assemble cake
- Pour half of the cake batter into a greased pan.
- Spread cheesecake filling evenly on top.
- Pour remaining cake batter over it.
4. Bake
- Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (avoid center filling).
- Let it cool completely before slicing.
🍍 Tips for best results
- Don’t overmix the batter (keeps cake soft).
- Chill the cheesecake layer slightly before adding for cleaner layers.
- Tastes even better after resting a few hours.
