Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups sour cream
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup canned crushed pineapple (in juice, drained)
• 1.5 cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 3 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved from draining the canned pineapple)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for glaze, melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the softened butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat on medium speed until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

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

Step 7

While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, reserved pineapple juice, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top with a wooden skewer or fork.

Step 9

Slowly pour the pineapple glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to seep into the holes and create a moist texture.

Step 10

Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Serve as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence!
