🧾 Ingredients

🍰 For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups sugar
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 large eggs

👉 Additional ingredients (important for full recipe):

• 1 cup crushed pineapple (with juice)
• ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Oven & Pan

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Grease a bundt pan well so the cake releases easily after baking.

🔹 Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking soda
• Salt

Mix everything well.

🔹 Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Now add:

• Eggs
• Crushed pineapple with juice
• Oil or melted butter
• Vanilla extract

Mix gently until combined.

👉 The batter will look thick and moist.

🔹 Step 4: Do Not Overmix

Stir only until no dry flour remains.

⚠️ Overmixing can make the cake dense instead of soft.

🔹 Step 5: Pour into Bundt Pan

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.

Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove large air bubbles.

🔹 Step 6: Bake the Cake

Bake at 175°C (350°F) for about 40–50 minutes.

The cake should become:
✔️ Golden brown
✔️ Slightly springy on top

🔹 Step 7: Check Doneness

Insert a toothpick into the center:

• If it comes out clean → cake is ready
• If wet batter sticks → bake a little longer

🔹 Step 8: Cool Properly

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.

Then carefully flip it onto a serving plate or cooling rack.
