Pineapple juice cake is a delicious and moist dessert that incorporates the sweet and tropical flavor of pineapple juice. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup pineapple juice (unsweetened)
For the pineapple glaze:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then poke holes in the cake using a fork or skewer.
- Pour the pineapple glaze over the warm cake, spreading it evenly. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
