Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil, crushed pineapple (with juice), and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread 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 in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness, or serve as is.
Slice and enjoy your Pineapple Spice Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
