Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking dish or a 9-inch round cake pan, and lightly dust it with flour.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple, ensuring it is evenly dispersed throughout the batter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using). Mix well.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly across the top of the batter.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove the coffee cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the pineapple coffee cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
