Easiest Ever Pineapple Cake (5 Ingredients)
Description
This pineapple cake recipe uses simple ingredients: granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, baking soda, crushed pineapple with juice from a can, and eggs. Mixing them together creates a batter that takes advantage of the pineapple's natural sweetness and moisture, resulting in a tender, flavorful cake.
Once the batter is poured into a greased 9x13 pan and baked until a toothpick comes out clean, the cake develops a moist texture without the need for complex preparation or additional flavorings. The baking time is short enough to make it convenient for quick dessert needs.
This cake serves well as a base for frosting, such as cream cheese frosting or whipped cream, adding creaminess and balance to the pineapple's brightness. It can be sliced for family gatherings or casual meals.
Storing the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps it fresh for up to four days, making it a practical option for make-ahead dessert or snacks.
