Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups crushed pineapple, drained
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cake.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This helps to aerate the flour and evenly distribute the leavening agent.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter, which can make the cake dense.
- Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the cakes are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy your moist and delicious pineapple cake!
