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.
