Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice (reserved from drained pineapple)

Optional:

  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  4. Finish batter: Fold in crushed pineapple and reserved pineapple juice. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and serve: Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.

Notes

  • Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture.
  • For added flavor, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract or top with a pineapple glaze.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day.
