  • 1 electric mixer
  • 2 9-inch round cake pans
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 toothpick for testing doneness
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened Ensure at room temperature for smooth frosting.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with an electric mixer on medium speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Gently fold in the crushed pineapple with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  • Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  • Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  • Slice and serve your delicious Pineapple Juice Cake!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding shredded coconut to the batter.
