Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pineapple extract (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking and a golden crust.
- Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or non-stick spray; optionally line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk, then add vanilla and pineapple extracts; mix thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the drained crushed pineapple gently to keep the batter fluffy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- If desired, arrange pieces of pineapple on top of the batter.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, watching closely after 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost or glaze as desired, or enjoy plain.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free cake.
- Substitute coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free version.
- Low-fat or coconut milk-based condensed milk alternatives can lighten the recipe.
- Use flaxseed meal mixed with water to replace eggs for a vegan option.
- Fresh pineapple can be used instead of canned for stronger flavor.
