Recipe Ingredients:
Cake:
- cooking spray
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple with juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
How To Make Pineapple Cake?
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour (240g), white sugar (300g), baking soda (5ml), and kosher salt (2.5ml). Stir until well mixed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the eggs, crushed pineapple with juice (568g), and vanilla extract (5ml) into the well. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese (227g) and unsalted butter (113g). Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar (180g) and vanilla extract (5ml). Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes more.
- Frost the Cake: Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
- Serve: Cut the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Paula Deen Pineapple Cake!
Recipe Tips:
- Drain the Pineapple Thoroughly: Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent the cake from becoming too moist or soggy.
- Accurate Measuring: Use proper measuring cups and spoons for both dry and wet ingredients to ensure the cake has the right texture and sweetness.
- Soften Ingredients: Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften at room temperature before making the frosting for a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Cool Completely Before Frosting: Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before spreading the frosting to avoid melting and ensure the frosting sets nicely.
- Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, the cake is perfectly baked.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Pineapple Cake cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, cover it with plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Freeze: Pineapple Cake can be frozen for up to three months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. To thaw, move the cake to the refrigerator overnight before serving.
