Pineapple Pound Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice, not drained)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

(Optional: ½ cup shredded coconut or chopped nuts for extra texture)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the crushed pineapple (including juice). Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Serve plain, with a dusting of powdered sugar, or drizzle with a pineapple glaze.
