In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, crushed pineapple (with juice), eggs, vegetable oil, and orange zest. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Make the Frosting:
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Frost the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake.
Chill and Serve:
For best results, refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Slice the Pineapple Orange Cake into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the tropical flavors!
