Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.
Add the crushed pineapple (including the juice), eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the same bowl.
Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix everything together until no dry patches of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Serve as is or top with your favorite frosting, such as cream cheese frosting, for added sweetness.
