  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded coconut (if using).
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Mix together 1 cup of whipped cream with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla extract for the topping.
  12. Optionally fold in additional crushed pineapple into the whipped cream mixture.
  13. Refrigerate the whipped cream topping until the cake is cooled.
  14. Place the cooled cake on a serving plate.
  15. If desired, slice the cake in half horizontally for layers.
  16. Spread whipped cream topping on the bottom layer, then place the top layer back on.
  17. Spread whipped cream topping over the entire surface if not layered.
  18. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish as desired.
