Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C), and then grease your cake pan—this is crucial for ensuring your cake comes out perfectly. Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar, and beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. It’s such a rewarding moment when you see it change texture! After that, add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and the drained crushed pineapple, mixing until everything is beautifully combined.
