Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice, canned)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
Step 3
Add the wet ingredients: crushed pineapple along with its juice, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until just combined and no dry patches remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 4
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 7
Optional: Serve as-is or top with whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, or a simple sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra flair.
