Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups vegetable oil
  • 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until well combined.

Step 3

Add the crushed pineapple (including the juice), eggs, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the same bowl.

Step 4

Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, mix everything together until no dry patches of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Serve as is or top with your favorite frosting, such as cream cheese frosting, for added sweetness.
