Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice


Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • Make the Batter:

    • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  • Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:

    • Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with sour cream. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

    • Gently fold in the crushed pineapple.

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Prepare the Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth.

    • Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.

 

  • Serve and Enjoy:

    • Slice and serve the cake once the glaze has set.

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the pineapple well to prevent excess moisture in the cake.

  • You can substitute the sour cream with plain yogurt for a slightly different texture.
