# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your loaf pan by greasing it and giving it a light coating of flour.
02 -
Whisk together your 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 it's light and fluffy - this is important for a tender cake!
04 -
Beat in your eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla. Now alternate between adding your dry ingredients and sour cream, starting and ending with the dry mix. Just mix until everything comes together.
05 -
Gently fold in your well-drained crushed pineapple, pour the batter into your pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
06 -
Once the cake has cooled completely, mix up your glaze with powdered sugar and pineapple juice, then drizzle it all over the top.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your pineapple is well-drained to prevent a soggy cake
02 -
Room temperature ingredients mix better
03 -
Don't overmix the batter after adding flour
