- 1 stick ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cans 20 oz each pineapple chunks, drained
- 8 oz cream cheese cut into small pieces
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish and melt it in the oven while preheating.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in milk and beaten egg until just combined; do not overmix.
Carefully pour the batter over the melted butter in the baking dish. Do not stir.
Evenly distribute the drained pineapple chunks over the batter.
Drop cream cheese pieces over the top, allowing some to sink slightly.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Cool slightly before serving.
