How to Make Pineapple Sour Cream Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. In a medium bowl, gently combine 2 cups crushed pineapple (drained) and ½ cup chopped pecans (optional).
  7. Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  8. Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the first batter layer.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the pineapple layer and spread to the edges.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake.
  11. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
