Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil, crushed pineapple (with juice), and vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness, or serve as is.

Step 10

Slice and enjoy your Pineapple Spice Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
