📝 Ingredients

Cake

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Pineapple Filling

• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (drained)
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3–4 tablespoons pineapple juice
• (Optional) 1 teaspoon lemon zest 🍋

Gather your ingredients and let them come to room temperature before starting—this helps the butter cream properly and the batter blend smoothly. Prepare a 9‑inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it thoroughly, ensuring the corners are coated to prevent sticking. For extra insurance, you can line the base with a round of parchment paper.
