How to Make Rosemary Pineapple 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) unsalted 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 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting (recipe not included - use your favorite cream cheese frosting or a pineapple-flavored frosting).
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, frost and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
