Ingredients for Best Pineapple Cake

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Baking Soda
  • Walnuts
  • Crushed Pineapple

How to Make Best Pineapple Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and nuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
