Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup fresh pineapple juice
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract for a touch of flavor.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the pineapple juice. Mix until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Serve and enjoy this tropical delight with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
