Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray to ensure that your bake doesn’t stick.
Once your dish is ready, drain the pineapple if you’re using canned, ensuring there’s no excess liquid.
If you’re using fresh pineapple, chop it into bite-sized pieces. The chunks of pineapple will give the bake its irresistible moist texture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until they’re evenly distributed.
Next, add in the wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is fully combined. You’ll have a thick, creamy batter at this point.
Now, gently fold in the pineapple pieces, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
The pineapple will add moisture to the mixture, making it soft and tender. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
The aroma of the bake will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist until it’s fully ready to enjoy!
Once out of the oven, let the pineapple bake cool for a few minutes before serving. This dessert can be enjoyed warm, but it’s just as delicious when it’s cooled down to room temperature. If you like.
you can even serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
This pineapple bake is perfect for any occasion and pairs beautifully with a cup of tea or coffee. The combination of tropical flavors and soft, fluffy texture is a hit for everyone, from children to adults alike.
