Ingredients
1.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs, room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp pineapple extract (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan to ensure your Irresistibly Moist Pineapple Pound Cake releases easily.
Step 2: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is light, airy, and pale in color.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to maintain the structure of the Irresistibly Moist Pineapple Pound Cake.
Step 4: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the undrained crushed pineapple, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6: Stir in the vanilla and pineapple extracts gently by hand to finish the Irresistibly Moist Pineapple Pound Cake batter.
Step 7: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8: Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the Irresistibly Moist Pineapple Pound Cake comes out clean.
Step 9: Allow the Irresistibly Moist Pineapple Pound Cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the pineapple is not drained; the juice is essential for the moisture of the cake.
