Here’s a simple and delicious pineapple cake recipe you can try:
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
For the frosting (optional):
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- Pineapple slices or crushed pineapple for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream Butter & Sugar: In another large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Frost (Optional): Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread over the cooled cake and top with pineapple slices or extra crushed pineapple.
✅ Tip: For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some toasted coconut on top of the frosting.
If you want, I can also give you a super moist pineapple upside-down cake version, which is even more tropical and fancy! Do you want me to do that?
