Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan for easy removal of the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Drain the canned crushed pineapple, reserving the juice for later use. Add the drained crushed pineapple to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Gently fold in the chopped pecans for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake the Moist Pineapple Cake in the preheated oven for approximately 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the optional cream cheese frosting by beating the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and continue beating until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- If desired, spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake and garnish with pineapple chunks for a tropical touch.
Slice and serve the Moist Pineapple Cake, and enjoy the delightful taste of the tropics!
