How to Make Frosted Pineapple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  7. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  8. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add 1/4 cup crushed pineapple and 2-3 tablespoons milk until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost evenly with the pineapple frosting.
