Lazy Amish Pineapple Cake – Easy Moist Pineapple Dessert Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 2:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3:

Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and the entire can of crushed pineapple (including juice). Stir everything together until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4:

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and spread it out.

Step 5:

Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6:

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, evaporated milk, and sugar. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the mixture begins to gently boil.

Step 7:

Let the glaze simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

Step 8:

Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and while still warm, poke small holes across the surface using a fork or skewer.

Step 9:

Pour the warm glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely.

Step 10:

Let the cake cool before slicing and serving.
