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:

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    • Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in your cake recipe. Grease and flour your cake pans for a smooth release.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.

Frequent Questions: Q: Can I make this cake ahead of time? A: Certainly! Prepare the cake layers in advance, wrap them well, and refrigerate. Frost the cake just before serving for a fresh and delightful presentation.

Q: Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned? A: Absolutely! If using fresh pineapple, ensure it’s well-drained to achieve the perfect texture in your cake.
