# Ingredients:
→ Cake Base
01 -
1 cup white sugar
02 -
2 large eggs
03 -
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon salt
07 -
1 1/2 cups plain flour
→ Moisture & Flavor
08 -
1 cup drained crushed pineapple
09 -
1/2 cup sour cream
→ Glaze
10 -
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
11 -
1/2 cup powdered sugar
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn on your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat your loaf pan lightly with butter, then sprinkle in a bit of flour.
02 -
In a medium bowl, stir together the baking powder, salt, and flour until they’re evenly blended.
03 -
Using a mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy—it’ll make all the difference in texture.
04 -
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, blending well. Stir in the vanilla, then alternate adding the dry mix and sour cream, beginning and finishing with the dry ingredients. Mix lightly until combined.
05 -
Gently mix in the drained pineapple, pour everything into your pan, and pop it in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes. A clean toothpick means it’s ready.
06 -
Once the cake is completely cooled, stir together the pineapple juice and powdered sugar for the glaze. Drizzle it over the loaf.
# Notes:
01 -
Drain your pineapple well so the cake doesn’t end up soggy.
02 -
It’s best to use ingredients at room temperature for an even consistency.
03 -
Mix the batter just until it comes together; don’t overdo it.
