Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- Cream cheese frosting
- Maraschino cherries and additional shredded coconut for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your cake recipe. Grease and flour your cake pans for a smooth release.
- Whisk the Dry Ingredients:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents for a fluffy cake.
- Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step contributes to the cake’s airy texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla:
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the vanilla extract for a touch of warmth.
- Incorporate Pineapple Magic:
- Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice. The tropical essence will infuse every bite with a burst of fruity flavor.
- Fold in Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. For an extra layer of texture, fold in shredded coconut if desired.
- Bake to Golden Perfection:
- Divide the batter evenly between your prepared cake pans and bake until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Frost and Garnish:
- Once cooled, frost the cake generously with cream cheese frosting. Garnish with maraschino cherries and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for a tropical flourish.
