Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice

½ cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

½ cup shredded coconut (optional)

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.

                      - Presentation Tips: Cut the cake into squares, and decorate each slice with a small slice of fresh pineapple or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top for an island-inspired look. Enjoy your tropical treat!
