Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Confectioners' sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the drained crushed pineapple and chopped fresh rosemary until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing gently until just combined.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the top with confectioners' sugar and garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs before serving. Slice and enjoy!
