Ingredients
Directions
- Preheated the oven to 350°F or 180°C.

- Transfer the batter from the blender to a bowl and fold in the sifted flour and baking powder.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured cake pan.
- Bake for about 40 minutes. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check with a toothpick and adjust as needed.)
- If the cake is browning on top but not fully baked inside, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the oil with another type of fat in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the oil with melted butter or coconut oil for a different flavor. Keep in mind that this may slightly alter the texture of the cake.
What is the best way to store leftovers from the Creamy Pineapple Cake?
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To prevent the whipped cream from deflating, it's best to add it fresh when serving.
My cake is browning on top but not baked inside. What should I do?
If your cake is browning too quickly on top, you can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent it from burning while it continues to bake inside. Make sure to check its doneness with a toothpick after covering.
