Easy Pineapple Cake

A simple homemade pineapple cake — sweet and moist. The caramel and pineapple slices on top are what make this cake so special.

Pineapple cake is one of the most delicious moist cakes... We recommend making it and enjoying its irresistible flavor!

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • pineapple slices
  • Caramel
  • 1 cup sugar with a splash of water
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 small cubes of butter

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until you obtain a creamy mixture and the sugar is completely dissolved
  2. Add the juice and oil and whisk
  3. Sift the dry ingredients, then add them gradually over the mixture and whisk
  4. In a pot over the heat, put the sugar with water to prepare the caramel... when they turn golden, add a little liquid milk and butter... you will notice that the caramel disc solidifies when the liquid is added
  5. Stir gently until the caramel dissolves again
  6. Pour the caramel into the pan or baking dish in which we will bake the cake
  7. Arrange the pineapple slices over the caramel, then pour the cake batter
  8. Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 180°C
  9. Leave it on a wire rack long enough to finish cooking
  10. When removing the cake from the oven, invert it while still warm onto the serving plate because the caramel sticks to the pan if the cake cools
  11. Serve the pineapple cake when it has cooled to room temperature
