Ingredients
Instructions

- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 40 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter cake, consider using a mix of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. If you're out of baking soda, you can substitute it with baking powder, but use three times the amount. Make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well if you prefer a less moist cake. This recipe is a great way to use leftover fruit, similar to Linda'S Peach Cake.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Pineapple Quicky Cake warm or at room temperature, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. It pairs beautifully with Fried Tomatoes(1928) for a savory-sweet meal. Consider serving it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a light yogurt parfait for a refreshing brunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Pineapple Quicky Cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pineapple, but be sure to crush it and drain excess juice to avoid making the cake too wet. Fresh pineapple adds a vibrant flavor, but the texture may differ slightly from using canned pineapple.
What if I don't have eggs?
If you're out of eggs, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana. This will keep the cake moist and add a hint of flavor, making it a great option for those following vegetarian recipes.
How can I add more flavor to the cake?
You can enhance the flavor by adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon to the batter. For a tropical twist, consider adding shredded coconut or chopped nuts, which will complement the pineapple beautifully.
