# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and lightly coat it with flour.
02 -
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
03 -
Beat the softened butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
04 -
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
05 -
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
06 -
Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
07 -
Once the cake has cooled completely, mix the powdered sugar and pineapple juice to create a glaze. Drizzle evenly over the top of the cake.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
02 -
Using room temperature ingredients improves mixing consistency.
03 -
Avoid overmixing the batter once the flour is added to maintain a tender texture.
