When making a Hawaiian theme dinner, a must have is a pineapple cake for dessert. I tried a couple of different ideas and this one was the easiest and most delicious option. This is a sweet, moist cake that you can frost or have as is. The nutritional value is without the icing.

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cups of sugar
  • 2 cups of flour (I used unbleached)
  • 2 tsps of baking soda
  • 20 oz can of crushed pineapple with juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract (optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and baking soda, mix well.
  3. In another bowl mix pineapple, eggs and vanilla.
  4. Add wet ingredients to the flour mixture and mix well.
  5. Pour into prepared pan.
  6. Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool a bit and put cream cheese frosting or other icing of your choice or serve as is.

Ok, like I said these are very large pieces. As is, this is not a dessert you want to be having daily. It is high in carbs and sugar. Not for the diabetics. I actually made 16 pcs out of it and it was still a nice size with a slice of charred pineapple and a small bowl of fresh pineapple on the side.

In the picture, it is iced with cream cheese icing. You can store this in the fridge for up to 4 days. The size and icing and shape are up to you. You can make this in a 9×13 pan and reduce the cooking time to 32 min and make little squares.

It’s all up to you and remember to have fun and make it your own.
