The Easiest Pineapple Bake

Step 4: Pour the Batter Over Pineapple

Carefully pour the cake batter over the pineapple chunks. Use a spatula to gently spread the batter evenly across the pan. Don’t worry about completely covering every piece—some pineapple peeking through adds a rustic charm.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The cake is ready when:

• The top is golden brown
• A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

The aroma of sweet pineapple and butter will fill your kitchen—it’s irresistible!

Step 6: Optional Toppings

Once baked, you can:

• Sprinkle shredded coconut for a tropical vibe
• Add chopped nuts for a crunchy texture
• Dust a little cinnamon for warmth

These extras are optional but elevate the flavor and presentation.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Let your pineapple bake cool slightly before cutting into squares. It’s perfect warm, or you can refrigerate and enjoy chilled. For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Bake

1. Don’t overmix the batter—a few small lumps are fine.
2. Drain pineapple well to prevent the cake from becoming too soggy.
3. Use a glass or ceramic baking dish for even baking.
4. Add spices like nutmeg or ginger if you like a warm, aromatic twist.
