Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- ½ cup powdered sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate flour and sour cream: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
- Add pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and add extra pineapple if desired.
Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Cake:
- For extra moisture, make sure to drain the pineapple well, so it doesn’t make the batter too wet.
- Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant and fresh flavor.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, increase the powdered sugar in the glaze.
- For a slightly more tropical twist, add a handful of shredded coconut into the batter for extra texture and flavor.
