Ingredients
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup crushed pineapple, well-drained (optional, for extra moisture)
For the glaze (optional):
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1–2 tbsp pineapple juice
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or loaf pan (or line with parchment).
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, then mix in pineapple juice, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until just combined. Fold in crushed pineapple if using.
- Pour batter into the pan and bake 30–35 minutes (round) or 45–50 minutes (loaf), until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, 1 tbsp pineapple juice, and vanilla. Add more juice for thinner consistency.
- Let cake cool 10 minutes. Poke holes all over with a skewer. Drizzle warm glaze over the top—it will soak in beautifully!
- Cool completely before slicing.
✨ Serve as-is or with whipped cream and fresh fruit!
