PINEAPPLE CAKE

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (for topping)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and light.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until smooth.
6. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and pineapple juice, mixing evenly.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze by mixing the sweetened condensed milk with a little pineapple juice until smooth.
9. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Poke holes across the cake with a fork or skewer, then pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in.
   Once it cool off, enjoy it.
