Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces Crushed pineapple (in juice, not syrup)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or a thin layer of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
Add the entire can of crushed pineapple (including the juice), Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cake stays light and tender.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For serving, optionally dust the top of the cake with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar or serve with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream for extra flair.
