Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar (divided)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple (sliced into bite-sized pieces)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), whip together the softened butter and 1 cup of the sugar until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition.
  • Fold in the fresh pineapple. Spread the batter in the prepared cake pan.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar evenly over the top of the cake batter.
  • Bake until the top of the cake is browned and crackly and the cake feels firm to the touch, about 40 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan and slice and serve the cake from the pan.
