Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (or cake flour for a lighter texture)
1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
½ cup unsalted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
¾ cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp pineapple juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2️⃣ Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3️⃣ Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
4️⃣ Mix in the pineapple juice and vanilla extract.
5️⃣ Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6️⃣ Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
7️⃣ Pour into the pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8️⃣ Let the cake cool, then drizzle with the pineapple juice glaze or dust with powdered sugar.
📌 Pro Tip: For an extra moist cake, poke small holes in the warm cake and brush it with additional pineapple juice before glazing!
