Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup (120 g) sour cream

  • 1 cup (240 g) crushed pineapple, well drained

Glaze:

  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) pineapple juice


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  • Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

  • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth.

  • Once the cake has finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake.

  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the cake.

  • For an extra touch, you can top the cake with shredded coconut or chopped nuts.

  • The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
