½ cup sour cream
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
For the Glaze:
½ cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Beat Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add Dry Ingredients Alternating with Sour Cream: Gradually mix in the flour mixture, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the flour.
- Fold in Pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
Notes
Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent the batter from becoming too wet.
