Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg. If you want to reduce the oil, you can substitute half with unsweetened applesauce for a healthier version. Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the cake. This recipe can be easily doubled for a larger gathering.
