Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice, canned)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Add the wet ingredients: crushed pineapple along with its juice, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until just combined and no dry patches remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve as-is or top with whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, or a simple sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flair.
