Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained well)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes (optional) for added texture
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, along with the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and coconut flakes (if using).
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing, if desired.
  2. Enjoy your heavenly creation!

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap individual slices and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in the oven.
