Pineapple Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (about 20 oz) of pineapple slices in syrup
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a cake pan and set it aside. - Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a whisk or electric mixer until the mixture turns pale and fluffy. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined. - Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. - Add Pineapple Juice:
Pour in the pineapple juice and mix until fully incorporated. This adds a refreshing tropical flavor and keeps the cake moist. - Assemble the Cake:
Arrange the pineapple slices in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple slices, spreading it evenly. - Bake:
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. - Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy a slice on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream!
