How to Make Graham Cracker Cake With Pineapple Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour a tube or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter, 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  3. Gently mix in 2 cups (227g) finely crushed graham crackers, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped nuts (optional), 1/2 cup (60g) shredded coconut (optional), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check for doneness at 60 minutes.
  5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack.
  6. While the cake cools, prepare the icing: In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup (57g) unsalted butter over low heat.
  7. Add one 20-ounce can (567g) of drained pineapple chunks to the melted butter. Stir to combine.
  8. Gradually add 4 cups (450g) powdered sugar, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. Add more powdered sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the pineapple icing evenly over the top.
