Ingredients
Scale
- 15 oz (425 grams) fresh pineapple, peeled and cored
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 ¼ cup (125 grams) sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 cup (240 grams) sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lime, juice and zest
- 2 ¼ cup (260 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- â…› teaspoon fine salt
Instructions
- Core and peel the fresh pineapple, then cut it in half. Dice one half and slice the other half. Alternatively, drain a 20-oz can of pineapple in juice. Set it aside.
- Preheat the oven to 355°F/180°C and line a 9-inch spring-form cake pan with parchment paper, greasing the sides and bottom with butter and flour.
- In a stand mixer or using an electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually add the vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lime juice and zest to the mixture until smooth.
- Transfer half of the batter to the prepared cake pan. Level it and sprinkle diced pineapple on top. Add the remaining batter and arrange the sliced pineapple gently on the surface.
- Bake in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Once baked, let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer it to a serving plate. Optionally dust with powdered sugar or brush with warm honey or apricot jam.
Notes
Ensure eggs and sour cream are at room temperature for best results.
Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor but canned pineapple works as an alternative.
This cake can be enjoyed warm or cold and is perfect for any occasion.
