Tips for Ultimate Juicy Pineapple Cake
-
Drain crushed pineapple slightly but don’t squeeze completely—the juice keeps the cake moist.
-
For extra flavor, fold in 1–2 tsp coconut extract along with vanilla.
-
Chill 30 minutes before serving to let the frosting set perfectly.
If you want, I can also give a one-bowl, ultra-moist version that’s faster but just as “heavenly.”
