How to Make Crushed Pineapple Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, alternating with 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Drain a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple well and spread evenly over the batter.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped pecans (optional), and ½ cup (1 stick) cold butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the pineapple.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before serving.
