This delicious pineapple cranberry cake is perfect for any occasion, combining the sweet flavors of pineapple and the tartness of cranberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (20 oz) sliced pineapple (with juice)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or a round cake pan.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cranberries and half of the pineapple juice from the canned pineapple. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the cranberries soften and burst. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with brown sugar until well combined. Pour the mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar mixture in the pan. Scatter the cooked cranberries over the pineapple slices.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In another bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Pour the batter over the pineapple and cranberry layer in the pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter to release the cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Try adding nuts for extra crunch.
- This cake is delicious served warm with ice cream.
