How to Make 2 Ingredient Pineapple Cake With Pineapple Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the canned crushed pineapple until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
  3. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving.
  7. **Optional Pineapple Sauce:** While the cake is baking, combine the pineapple juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Whisk constantly over medium heat until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool slightly before serving over the cake.
