Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks (drained and patted dry)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups cream filling (custard or pastry cream)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • Extra pineapple chunks (for topping)
  • Optional: Shredded coconut or toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the pineapple juice. Fold in the pineapple chunks.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, carefully slice the cake horizontally to create two layers. Spread the cream filling evenly over the bottom layer, then place the top layer over it.
  6. Spread a thin layer of frosting (prepared with powdered sugar and a splash of pineapple juice) over the top and sides of the cake.
  7. Decorate with extra pineapple chunks and optional shredded coconut for added texture.
  8. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing for clean, perfect cuts.
