Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • 9x13-inch baking pan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple juice (or canned)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • One by one, add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and half a cup of pineapple juice.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Slowly alternate adding the dry ingredients and remaining pineapple juice to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

For a moister cake, brush the cooled cake with a bit more pineapple juice before frosting. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Consider substituting pineapple juice with orange juice for a different flavor or coconut oil for a dairy-free version. To prevent overmixing, gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
