Ingredients

To make a delicious, easy pineapple cake, you will need:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks / 8 oz) butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 large pineapple
• 1 cup sugar (for caramelizing)

Batter

Here is how to make the pineapple cake batter:

Step 1: Beat the butter with the sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and keep beating until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.

Step 2: Sift the flour and add it gradually to the batter, alternating with the milk. Stir gently, preferably with a spatula or whisk, until all the flour is well incorporated.

Step 3: Add the baking powder and stir briefly, just enough to distribute it through the batter.

Assembling the Cake

Here is how to assemble your pineapple cake to impress everyone:

Step 1: Peel the pineapple and cut it into slices about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Remove the core from each slice.

Step 2: Caramelize one cup of sugar in a saucepan until amber in color. Pour the caramel into a cake pan, spreading it evenly over the bottom and sides.

Step 3: Arrange the pineapple slices over the caramel, covering the whole surface of the pan.

Step 4: Pour the cake batter over the pineapple slices, spreading evenly.

Step 5: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the cake for about 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before unmolding. Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake and flip it onto a large serving plate.

Serving and Storage Tips

Here are a few tips to get the pineapple cake right when serving and storing it:

To serve:

• Pineapple cake tastes even better served warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• You can add extra caramel syrup or a pineapple syrup to boost the flavor.

To store:

• Keep the cake in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To keep it from drying out, wrap it in plastic wrap before storing.
• If you prefer, freeze the cake for up to 3 months. To thaw, take it out of the freezer and leave at room temperature for a few hours or warm it in the oven.

With these tips, you will surely delight everyone with a well-made, flavorful pineapple cake!
