Why Make This Recipe

Pineapple Cake is a delightful treat that offers a perfect blend of sweetness and tropical flavor. It’s a great dessert for any occasion, from birthdays to casual family gatherings. The moist texture and fruity taste make it a favorite among kids and adults alike. Plus, it’s simple to make and doesn’t require special skills, making it perfect for bakers of all levels.

How to Make Pineapple Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
  5. Fold in crushed pineapple.
  6. Pour into prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool before serving.

How to Serve Pineapple Cake

You can serve Pineapple Cake plain or top it with a light dusting of powdered sugar. It also goes well with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special touch. Adding some fresh pineapple slices on top can enhance its tropical flair.

How to Store Pineapple Cake

Pineapple Cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep it longer, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just make sure to thaw it in the refrigerator before serving.

Tips to Make Pineapple Cake

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid making the cake too wet.
  • For an added twist, consider adding chopped nuts or coconut to the batter for extra texture.
  • Experiment with frosting; a cream cheese frosting pairs wonderfully with the cake’s flavor.

Variation

You can try making Pineapple Upside-Down Cake by layering pineapple slices and maraschino cherries at the bottom of the cake pan before pouring in the batter. This gives a beautiful presentation and a unique flavor twist.

FAQs

1. Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple. Just make sure to crush it well and drain out the excess juice.

2. Is it possible to make this cake gluten-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend, and follow the same method.

3. Can I add other fruits to the cake?
Yes, you can add chopped fruits like bananas or mango for a different flavor. Just make sure to adjust the moisture by draining excess liquid.
