Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 20 ounces Canned crushed pineapple (undrained)
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the canned crushed pineapple (with its juice), vanilla extract, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and no dry streaks remain.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

While the cake is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar to create a smooth glaze. Set aside.

Step 7

Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool for 10–15 minutes in the pan. Then, drizzle the butter glaze over the top of the cake. Spread it evenly with a spatula if necessary.

Step 8

Let the cake cool completely before serving or slicing into squares. Enjoy!
