  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons pineapple juice

Method

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with a mixer for 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. In a measuring cup, combine pineapple juice and sour cream.
  6. Alternately add flour mixture and juice mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in pineapple zest if using. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in pan, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake and let set before slicing.
