Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.

- In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, starting and ending with dry ingredients.
- Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Glazing
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth.
- Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, let your butter soften and drain the pineapple well to avoid a soggy cake. You can also add toasted coconut on top for extra crunch.
