👩‍🍳 How to Make Pineapple Condensed Milk Cake

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line your baking dish with parchment paper.

2. Mix the wet ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, crushed pineapple (with juice), oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.

3. Add the dry ingredients. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt directly to the bowl. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix!

4. Pour into the pan. Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish.

5. Bake. Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden.

6. Cool and top as desired. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. You can dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with condensed milk, or top with whipped cream and coconut.
