Deliciously moist and mouth watering, this tropical inspired Pineapple Cake is made with just one bowl and seven ingredients. This recipe has stood the test of time and is sure to leave everyone, young and old, coming back for another delicious slice.
Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Grease a 9x13x2 pan.
In a large bowl, hand-whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined. Add eggs, pineapple with juices, and vanilla extract. Hand-whisk just until incorporated; do not over-mix.
Use a rubber spatula to evenly distribute batter into the greased pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few crumbs attached; take care not to over bake.
Let cool on a wire rack completely before serving. Cake keeps well wrapped airtight at moderate room temp. Can also be frozen airtight for up to several weeks.
We found this cake ultra moist and sweet enough as-is, without any need for icing or thick frosting. But, we welcome you to top it with a bit of coconut whipped cream, which is light and fluffy over this tropical style cake.
You can also use a loaf pan (as we did in these photos) in lieu of the 9x13. If using a 9x5 loaf pan, adjust the bake time to about 50-60 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few tender crumbs attached.
