Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 20 ounces Canned crushed pineapple (undrained)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the canned crushed pineapple (with its juice), vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and no dry streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar to create a smooth glaze. Set aside.
Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes in the pan. Then, drizzle the butter glaze over the top of the cake. Spread it evenly with a spatula if necessary.
Let the cake cool completely before serving or slicing into squares. Enjoy!
