• Pineapple slices or chunks for garnish

• Glaze (see below)

For the pineapple frosting:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 to 3 tablespoons of pineapple juice (adjust to desired consistency)

 Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 23 cm (9 inch) round cake pan.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream the butter and sugar

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs and vanilla

Beat the eggs one by one, then add the vanilla extract.

5. Combine the mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice. Mix just until well blended, but do not overmix.

6. Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

7. Cool and ice

Allow the cake to cool completely. Mix the frosting ingredients and drizzle it over the cake. Garnish with pineapple slices or chunks.

 Advice:

• For extra pineapple flavor, add crushed pineapple to the batter.

• Ideal when served chilled for a refreshing treat.

• Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
