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!
