Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon pineapple extract (optional)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened for glaze
  • 23 cups powdered sugar (adjust to desired thickness)
  • 2 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice (more if needed to thin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy—about 5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in sour cream along with vanilla extract and pineapple extract if desired.
  6. Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients in small batches, mixing until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 55 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes; check doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  10. For the glaze, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar while mixing until thick and creamy. Stir in reserved pineapple juice to achieve desired consistency. Drizzle or spread over the cooled cake.
