Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapples in pineapple juice (no added sugar), not drained
  • 1 1/3 cups (255 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 2/3 cups (351 g) self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the cake bakes evenly once the batter is ready.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapples with their juice and the granulated sugar. Stir well until the sugar is dissolved. Then add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually sift in the self-rising flour to the pineapple mixture, folding gently to avoid overmixing. Mix until just combined to keep the cake tender.
  4. Prepare Pan: Lightly grease or line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the cake from sticking.
  5. Pour and Spread: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform baking.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use self-rising flour for this recipe to avoid adding additional leavening agents.
  • Do not drain the crushed pineapples as the juice helps keep the cake moist.
  • For a more intense pineapple flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, though it is optional.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Storing: Keep the cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
