This is Hubs’ favorite cake. I should really make it more often, ‘cuz it’s very easy and homemade cake is rather frugal to boot!
Preheat your oven to 350° and grease your 9 x 13 pan.
You’ll need:
- 1 can crushed pineapple
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 5 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
Drain the pineapple but reserve the liquid. Mix ¼ cup melted butter w/ the brown sugar, 2 Tbsp of the reserved liquid and the drained pineapple. Spread it in the pan.
To the rest of the reserved liquid add enough water to make 1 & 1/3 cup. Set this aside.
Combine flour baking powder. Set this aside too.
Cream 1 cup butter with the white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute. Add the flour mixture alternately with the juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour over the pineapple mixture in pan.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Do the toothpick test.
I don’t have a platter the right size to turn this cake upside down . . .
. . . so I don’t.
