Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.5 cups Brown sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 4 slices Pineapple slices (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the crushed pineapple using a spatula, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour. Mix gently after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the butterscotch chips.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once the cake is completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 12

Optionally, top with pineapple slices for decoration before serving. Slice and enjoy!
