A moist and flavorful tropical cake made with pineapple juice, topped with a sweet glaze. This simple-to-make dessert is bright, cheerful, and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix well until the dry ingredients are fully integrated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix as a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula, then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, mix the powdered sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl until smooth, adjusting the consistency by adding more juice or sugar as needed.
- Once completely cooled, drizzle the sweet glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in for an extra sweet touch.
- Slice the cake and enjoy its tropical goodness.
