Pineapple Juice Cake Delightful and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.5 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1 batch cream cheese frosting (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top for added richness.
