A delightful twist on the classic pound cake, featuring juicy pineapple for a burst of tropical flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan or loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Incorporate the crushed pineapple and mix gently.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality butter and fresh pineapple for the best flavor.
  • Optional add-ons include nuts, coconut extract, and shredded coconut.
  • Check for doneness around the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
