Instructions
-
Preheat and prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
-
Mix the cake batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add softened butter, pineapple juice, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Beat in eggs one at a time. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
Bake the cake: Bake 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare the filling: In a saucepan, combine pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Let cool.
-
Assemble the cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, spread pineapple filling evenly on top.
-
Make the topping: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Spread over the pineapple filling.
-
Refrigerate and serve: Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Tip: Garnish with toasted coconut flakes or fresh pineapple slices for extra flavor.
