Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth. Add more pineapple juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Slice and serve.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular softened butter. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also add a teaspoon of apple juice extract to the glaze for a more complex flavor. Chopped pecans or walnuts can be sprinkled on top of the glaze for added texture.
