Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple with juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the crushed pineapple with its juice, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter directly to the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Using a whisk or spatula, gently mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture of the cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving.
Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar or top with whipped cream for extra sweetness before serving.
