🍰 Pineapple Pound Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar

  • 6 large eggs, room temperature

  • 3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) pineapple juice

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup (200 g) crushed pineapple, drained

Optional Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tbsp pineapple juice or milk


Instructions

1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

  • Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or loaf pan. Line with parchment if desired.


2. Cream Butter and Sugar

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (3–5 minutes).


3. Add Eggs

  • Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.


4. Combine Dry Ingredients

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.


5. Mix Batter

  • Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with pineapple juice (start and end with dry ingredients).

  • Stir in vanilla extract and drained crushed pineapple.


6. Bake

  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 70–80 minutes (loaf) or 60–70 minutes (bundt) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.


7. Cool

  • Let cake cool in pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.


8. Optional Glaze

  • Whisk powdered sugar with pineapple juice or milk until smooth.

  • Drizzle over cooled cake for added sweetness and shine.


💡 Tips

  • For extra moisture: Use full-fat butter and ensure pineapple is well-drained but not completely dry.

  • Flavor boost: Add 1 tsp coconut extract or a handful of toasted coconut flakes to the batter.

  • Storage: Wrap cooled cake in plastic wrap; keeps at room temp for 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.


If you like, I can also give you a version with a cream cheese swirl baked into the cake, which makes it ultra-rich and decadent.

Do you want me to do that?
