Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- ¼ cup pineapple juice (reserved from draining)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (optional, for added sweetness)
- powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the condensed milk until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and pineapple juice.
- Combine and bake: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding in the drained crushed pineapple. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 35–40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
- This cake is naturally moist and sweet but adding the optional sugar can enhance its sweetness.
- For a tropical twist, consider topping with toasted coconut or serving with whipped cream.
