Here’s a delicious and moist Pineapple Juice Cake recipe that’s simple to make and perfect for any occasion:
Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup pineapple juice (preferably fresh or canned)
- ½ cup crushed pineapple, drained (optional, for extra moisture)
For the Glaze (optional):
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch or 9-inch cake pan. - Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Cream butter and sugar:
In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. - Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with pineapple juice. Start and end with dry ingredients. Fold in crushed pineapple if using. - Bake the cake:
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Optional glaze:
Mix pineapple juice and powdered sugar to make a thin glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake for extra flavor and moisture.
💡 Tips:
- You can add ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for a nice crunch.
- Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert twist.
