Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Oven and Pan
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt or tube pan thoroughly.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and mix for 5–7 minutes until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add Eggs
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5: Combine Ingredients
Gradually add dry ingredients into the batter, mixing on low speed. Fold in crushed pineapple and vanilla extract gently.
Step 6: Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour 15–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 7: Cool
Allow cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8: Add Glaze (Optional)
Drizzle glaze over the cooled cake for extra sweetness and shine.
Notes
Do not overmix after adding flour, as this can make the cake dense. Also, avoid over-draining the pineapple—some juice helps maintain moisture.
