Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 eggs
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice, canned)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped pineapple (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Add the eggs and the entire can (20 ounces) of crushed pineapple with its juice to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined and no dry spots remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the pan for about 10 minutes.
While the cake is still warm, pour the frosting evenly over the top, spreading it gently with a spatula if needed.
Optional: Garnish the cake with chopped pineapple and shredded coconut for extra flavor and decoration.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
