Originating during the mid-20th century, it became a popular choice for busy bakers who appreciated its minimal effort and maximum taste.

6 servings
Servings4
2 cups self-rising flour
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 large can of crushed pineapple (20 oz)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

Prepare a 9 by 13 inch baking pan by greasing it well with butter, non-stick cooking spray, or vegetable oil. Optionally, lightly flour the pan after greasing to prevent sticking.

3

In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups of self-rising flour, 1 and 1/2 cups of granulated sugar, the entire can of crushed pineapple with juice, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.

4

Mix all the ingredients together using a whisk or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be lumpy and not smooth.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared 9 by 13 inch pan and spread it out evenly, reaching all corners.

6

Tap the pan on the counter to release any large air bubbles.

7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 to 45 minutes, checking around the 35 minute mark. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

8

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.

9

Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving, or let it cool completely. It can be served plain, with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream.
