Instructions:
Prepping the Batter:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with pineapple juice.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
Baking the Cake:
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Pineapple Glaze:
- In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Glazing the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the pineapple glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Cook Notes:
- Fresh vs. Canned Pineapple: While canned crushed pineapple is convenient, you can use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant flavor.
- Adjusting Sweetness: Tailor the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar in the glaze or opting for a less sweet pineapple juice.
- Texture Variation: For a textured twist, add shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the batter.
- Tropical Essence: Enhance the tropical feel by incorporating a teaspoon of coconut extract into the batter.
