PINEAPPLE CAKE RECIPE

Our favorite Pineapple & Cream filling recipe has been hiding out in our Recipes section for years, but we’ve never had a post or photos to really highlight how fantastic this cake really is!

PINEAPPLE CAKE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 sticks (169g) unsalted butter,softened
• 1 1/2 cups (300g) sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup (242g) milk
• 2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla
• 2 Tablespoons (18g) vegetable oil
• 2 1/2 cups (285g) cake flour....*if you do not have cake flour see note below
• 1 Tablespoon (12g) baking powder
• 1 teaspoon (6g) salt
• **No Cake Flour? Here is a substitution: For each cup of flour in the recipe, remove 2 Tablespoons flour and replace with 2 Tablespoons cornstarch. This recipe has 2 1/2 cups flour, measure out the flour, remove 5 Tablespoons and replace with 5 Tablespoons cornstarch, whisk to blend.

FOR THE PINEAPPLE & CREAM FILLING:

• 1 small box instant vanilla pudding
• 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream (not a whipped topping such as Cool Whip)
• 1 (15.25 oz.) can crushed pineapple, DRAINED. If you want to add pineapple to the top of the cake, reserve 1/3 cup

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:

• 2 sticks (1 cup) (226 g) unsalted butter, let it sit out approximately 10 minutes. It should feel very cool to the touch.
• 2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (total weight 452g) I use full fat cream cheese. Using reduced fat or the spreadable cream cheese will cause the frosting to be too soft. Soften very slightly.
• 2 teaspoons (8 g) vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (2g) optional - it will cut the sweetness, popcorn salt is best to use because it is fine and dissolves faster
• 6 to 6 1/2 cups (690g to 747g) powdered sugar
