6 extra-large eggs
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 10-inch fluted tube pan with cooking spray.
Beat cream cheese and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Add white sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and flour, alternately, starting and ending with an egg, beating well after each addition. Beat in almond extract, pineapple extract, and food coloring.
