📝 Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pineapple Filling
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (drained)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3–4 tablespoons pineapple juice
- (Optional) 1 teaspoon lemon zest 🍋
Gather your ingredients and let them come to room temperature before starting—this helps the butter cream properly and the batter blend smoothly. Prepare a 9‑inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it thoroughly, ensuring the corners are coated to prevent sticking. For extra insurance, you can line the base with a round of parchment paper.
