- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk or buttermilk for extra tenderness)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
Optional Garnish:

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pineapple Topping
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves into a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and fold in the pineapple chunks. Set aside.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth and creamy.
