Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pineapple extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (reserve juice for glaze)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp melted butter for richness (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp pineapple or vanilla extract for flavor boost (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan to prepare it for baking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and optional pineapple extract if using.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture alternately with sour cream until well combined.
  7. Finally, fold in the drained crushed pineapple gently.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cooling in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice. Add more juice as needed to achieve your desired glaze consistency. If desired, whisk in melted butter along with additional extract for extra flavor.
  11. Once cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over your cake. Let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
