Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Crushed dried pineapple (or pineapple chips, finely chopped)
Instructions
Start by sterilizing a wide-mouth quart-sized mason jar. Ensure it is completely dry before adding the ingredients.
Layer the granulated sugar at the bottom of the jar, spreading it out evenly.
Add the all-purpose flour on top of the sugar. Use a spoon to gently press the flour down to create a level layer.
Sprinkle in the baking powder, baking soda, and salt as the next layer.
On top of the dry ingredients, add the finely chopped dried pineapple. Gently press it into place without squishing it too much.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and decorate with a ribbon or handwritten tag.
Attach a tag or card with the following instructions: 'To bake Pineapple Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the contents of this jar with 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 can (20 ounces) of crushed pineapple with its juice. Mix well. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before serving and enjoy!'
