This super moist pineapple cake recipe is the best I’ve ever had (and I don’t use the word ‘best’ lightly)! It’s made up of soft pineapple cake layers, filled with a pineapple cake filling, and topped with a stabilized pineapple whipped cream frosting. It may sound fancy and complex, but trust me when I say that each element of this cake is SO EASY to make!

INGREDIENTS:

For accuracy, I would recommend using the gram measurements provided as those are the exact quantities I use. Cup measurements are given as estimates (based on US cup measurements) to make it easier for those who do not have a scale.

Pineapple Cake
▢2¼ cups (270 g) flour - plain, all purpose flour
▢¼ cup (25 g) cornstarch - also known as cornflour in some countries
▢2 tsp baking powder
▢½ tsp baking soda
▢½ tsp salt
▢1¼ cups (250 g) white granulated sugar
▢3 large eggs - room temperature. I use size 7 eggs
▢¾ cup (160 g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola oil
▢2½ cups (566 g) canned crushed pineapple - in pineapple juice (not syrup). 20 oz can in the US.
▢1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
