Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  4. Slowly mix in the crushed pineapple and vanilla extract into the egg and sugar mixture.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Whisk together the pineapple juice and powdered sugar until smooth to prepare the glaze.
  9. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
