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