Ingredients

For the Cake:

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

For the Pineapple Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
  • Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple.
  • Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Prepare Glaze: While the cake bakes, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice.
  • Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is out of the oven, poke small holes on top and drizzle the glaze over while still warm.
  • Cool & Serve: Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
