Ingredients

Scale

Let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need. Remember, substitutions are your friend, so feel free to get creative based on what you have in your pantry.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup crushed pineapple with juice (no need to drain)
1/2 cup sour cream (yogurt works too)

Substitution Tip: Don’t have sour cream? Use plain yogurt or even buttermilk. The aim is to keep the cake moist and tender, much like the comforting dishes my mom used to make.

Instructions

Now, let’s get into the heart of the matter—baking this delightful cake. Here’s how you can bring this recipe to life in your own kitchen:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the crushed pineapple with its juice and the sour cream, ensuring the batter is smooth and well-mixed.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Personal Tip: I often find myself checking on the cake a few minutes early. Every oven is a bit different—like people, they have their quirks!
