Ingredients
Cake
- 1 1/2 cups (212g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 6 large eggs separated
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
Frosting
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons pineapple juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup of sugar, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until they are white and foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks with lemon juice and pineapple juice.
- Add 1/4 of the flour mixture to the egg yolks, stirring gently just until combined. Add in another 1/4 of the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in stiff egg whites using a rubber spatula, using as few strokes as possible.
- Add remaining flour mixture, folding it in until everything is just combined using as few strokes as possible so as not to deflate egg whites. Transfer the batter into a clean, ungreased tube pan. Run a knife through batter to remove air bubbles.
- Bake for 60 minutes until done. Cake can be tested with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean.
- Immediately invert the pan over a cooling rack or cake plate, but do not attempt to remove the tube pan until the cake has cooled completely. While the cake cools, make pineapple frosting.
- For frosting, beat softened butter and lemon zest in a bowl using a mixer until light and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Mix in lemon juice, pineapple juice, and salt, beating for 3 minutes until frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread over cooled cake, then slice and serve.
