Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients:

        In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

          Cream the Butter and Sugar:

            In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

              Add Eggs and Vanilla:

                Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

                  Incorporate Wet Ingredients:

                    Mix in the sour cream and crushed pineapple with juice until well combined.

                      Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:

                        Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

                          Bake:

                            Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                              Cool the Cake:

                                Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                                  Prepare the Pineapple Glaze:

                                    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency if needed.

                                      Assemble the Cake:

                                        Once the cake is cooled, pour the pineapple glaze over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.

                                          Garnish:

                                            Decorate with fresh pineapple slices, dollops of whipped cream, and maraschino cherries for that extra touch of paradise!

                                              Serve:

                                                Slice and serve your Juicy Pineapple Heaven Cake chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy the tropical flavors!
