Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapples in pineapple juice (no added sugar), not drained
  • 1 1/3 cups (255 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/4 cup (56 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 2/3 cups (351 g) self-rising flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the entire can of crushed pineapples with their juice, the granulated sugar, and the melted unsalted butter. Stir well until the sugar starts to dissolve and the mixture is evenly blended.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually add the self-rising flour to the pineapple mixture. Fold the flour in using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep the cake light and tender.
  4. Pour Batter and Bake: Pour the cake batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Ensure to use crushed pineapples with no added sugar to balance sweetness.
  • Self-rising flour contains baking powder and salt; do not add extra leavening agents.
  • If self-rising flour is unavailable, you can substitute by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt (about 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour mixed with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt).
  • This cake is best served within 2-3 days and can be refrigerated to extend freshness.
