Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups crushed pineapple, drained
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and drained crushed pineapple. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Sift dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This helps to remove lumps and evenly distribute the baking powder throughout the flour.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the cake dense.
- Pour batter and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice the cake into 9 equal squares and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the crushed pineapple is well drained to avoid a soggy cake.
- For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts to the batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- If you prefer, substitute melted butter with an equal amount of vegetable oil for a slightly different texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
