Ingredients 👵🏼For the Cake:

• 🍍 1 cup crushed pineapple
• 🥤 ½ cup pineapple juice
• 🧈 ½ cup butter (softened)
• 🍬 1 cup sugar
• 🌿 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 🥚 3 large eggs
• 🥛 ½ cup milk
• 🌾 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 🧂 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 🧂 Pinch of salt

For the Glaze & Decoration:

• 🍯 ½ cup condensed milk
• 🍍 ¼ cup pineapple juice
• 🍍 Pineapple chunks (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions 👵🏼1. Prep Work

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease and flour an 8-inch round or square cake pan.

2. Mix the Batter

1. Cream Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
5. Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice to infuse the batter with tropical goodness.

3. Bake the Cake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Glaze the Cake

1. Once the cake has cooled, use a skewer or fork to poke small holes across the surface.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the condensed milk and pineapple juice. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes for added moisture and flavor.

5. Decorate & Serve

1. Arrange pineapple chunks over the top of the cake for a vibrant garnish.
2. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
3. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Juicy Pineapple Cake! 🌴🍍

Pro Tips for Success

• Fresh vs. Canned Pineapple: Both work well, but fresh pineapple offers a bolder flavor. Drain canned pineapple thoroughly if using.
• Extra Moisture: Add a splash of coconut milk to the glaze for a tropical twist.
• Decoration Ideas: Sprinkle shredded coconut or maraschino cherries for added flair.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
