Cake Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups crushed pineapple, drained
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by greasing it well 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. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents are evenly distributed and prevents clumps.
- Mix Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients mixture using a spatula or spoon. Mix gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
- Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: 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 let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into 9 equal squares and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well to avoid excess moisture in the cake.
- This cake keeps well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of grated coconut or some chopped nuts into the batter.
- Use room temperature eggs and melted butter for better incorporation and a smoother batter.
- Check the cake toward the end of baking time to avoid overbaking and dryness.
