Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt for balanced flavor and rise.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until creamy. Then stir in vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  4. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently to keep the batter tender and avoid overworking the gluten.
  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean when ready.
  6. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it, which helps it set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple juice for the brightest flavor when possible.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender cake texture.
  • Bring eggs and liquids to room temperature for better blending and rise.
  • Place the baking pan on the center rack for even cooking.
  • Check doneness early with a toothpick to avoid overbaking.
