Delicious Pineapple Cake Recipe for Dessert Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for topping)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Using parchment paper can help with easier removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

    Sifting the flour can help create a lighter cake.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

    Make sure eggs are at room temperature to mix better.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the crushed pineapple.

    Do not overmix; stop when just combined.
  6. Pour and Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

    Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve with whipped cream or ice cream for added flavor.
