Ingredients
For this homemade pineapple cake, you will need the following ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup canned crushed pineapple with juice, 1/2 cup coconut flakes, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pan with butter or cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a larger bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, and then mix in the pineapple and its juice. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until everything is well combined. Fold in the coconut flakes, walnuts, and vanilla extract.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
Once the cake has cooled completely, you can serve it as is or top it with a dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel or chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of coconut flakes. This pineapple cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Tips and Tricks
For an even more intense pineapple flavor, try using a can of pineapple tidbits in place of the crushed pineapple.

You can also replace the all-purpose flour with a mix of whole wheat and white flour for a healthier option.
If you're looking for a way to make your pineapple cake even more special, you can top it with a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and pineapple juice. Or you can top it with a cream cheese frosting. No matter how you choose to serve it, this homemade pineapple cake will be a hit!
