Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 (8-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice (drain and save juice)
- ¾ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved from the can)
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
For the Drizzle:
- 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved)
For the Glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- Milk (add in small amounts to reach desired consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the olive oil, pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and buttermilk until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients : Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Fold in the crushed pineapple.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Make the Drizzle: While the cake is still warm, combine the sugar and pineapple juice in a small bowl. Spoon the mixture over the cake, allowing it to soak in for extra moisture and flavor.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of milk, adding it slowly until you reach a pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Serve: Slice and serve as a dessert or afternoon treat. Enjoy its moist texture and tropical flavor with a cup of tea or coffee!
