Ingredients for Moist Pineapple Cake
This recipe for Moist Pineapple Cake is incredibly easy to follow and requires basic ingredients you likely already have in your pantry. Here’s what you’ll need:
For the Cake:
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained
- 1 box of yellow cake mix (or 2 cups of homemade cake flour)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
For the Frosting:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions for Making Moist Pineapple Cake
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later. This will ensure that your cake won’t stick to the pan and come out perfectly.
Step 2: Mix the Cake Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix (or homemade cake flour), eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Add the entire can of crushed pineapple with its juice into the bowl. Yes, the juice is what gives this cake its signature moistness! Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
If you’re using nuts, gently fold them into the batter for a little extra crunch and flavor.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
Step 4: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
While the cake is cooling, you can prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, a little at a time, and continue to beat until the frosting is creamy and well-combined. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
