Juicy Pineapple Heaven Cake
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple.
- Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add vanilla extract and enough heavy cream to achieve desired consistency.
- Frost the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then add the second layer and frost the top and sides.
- Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top for added texture and flavor.
