🍰 Tips for best result
- Drain pineapple well to avoid soggy cake
- Don’t overmix batter (keeps it soft)
- Chill cake for 1–2 hours before serving for best flavor
🌴 Variations
- Add coconut flakes for a “piña colada” vibe
- Use yogurt instead of oil for a lighter version
- Add a layer of pineapple jam between cake layers
If you want, I can also give you a no-oven version (stovetop or pressure cooker) or a bakery-style pineapple pastry cake.
