Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple well-drained to prevent a soggy cake
  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour sifted for a lighter texture
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature for easier creaming
  • 1 cup white sugar granulated sugar for sweetness
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature for better emulsion

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure vanilla for best flavor

  • 1 tsp salt a pinch of salt enhances all the flavors

Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan
  • Large mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract.
  4. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple carefully.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool before glazing with powdered sugar mixed with pineapple juice. This step is crucial for the glaze to set properly.

Notes

For an extra touch, prepare a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with a little pineapple juice and drizzle generously over the cooled cake before serving.
