Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed pineapple (crushed)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or loaf pan to ensure easy removal later.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, which will create an airy texture for your cake.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring they are fully incorporated after each addition to achieve a smooth batter.
- Incorporate the Pineapple: Mix in the mashed pineapple, making sure to combine it thoroughly for an even distribution of flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture until just combined.
- Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the fresh strawberries, being careful not to overmix as that can break them up.
- Bake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Notes
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake; mix until just combined.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh strawberries and pineapple make a significant difference in flavor.
- Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Ovens vary, so start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
- Let It Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
