Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan to ensure your cake lifts out easily after baking.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together until they are fully blended. This step is crucial for a uniform flavor throughout the cake.
-
In another bowl, mix the eggs, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk these wet ingredients together until they are smooth.
-
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture gently until it is just combined; do not overmix. You want a moist cake, and overmixing can often lead to a dense texture.
-
Fold in the crushed pineapple carefully. This adds not only flavor but also tremendous moisture to the cake, making it irresistible.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Making sure the batter is level will ensure even baking.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the baking time; each oven can vary slightly.
-
Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
