-
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.
