AN EASY AND DELICIOUS PINEAPPLE CAKE

This recipe is inspired by the snack-sized pineapple crumb cakes we had during our lunch at Disney's Castaway Cay in the Bahamas. It was so light and moist and had the perfect tropical taste to match our location. So I set about trying to re-create it at home. I think it turned out even better! I absolutely love pineapple desserts. If you haven't made my Pineapple Fluff Dessert or Pineapple Dream Dessert, you need to check them out

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Can I use a pineapple cake mix instead of lemon?

Yes, of course. I really liked the bright and tropical flavor that the lemon cake mix added here. But you can certainly use a pineapple cake mix.

Can this be made in round pans?

Yes. However, this is a very moist and tender cake so you'd have to be super careful if you want to make this a stacked cake or it will fall apart.

Does this cake need to be refrigerated?

It can stay out on the counter (covered) for up to 3 days. If you want it to last longer, put it covered in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen. Wrap well in plastic wrap then in aluminum foil. It will last up to 3 months.

HOW TO MAKE PINEAPPLE CRUMB CAKE:

Preheat oven to 350f degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and butter using a fork. You want to end up with it fully mixed and you should have small crumbles.

Then, stir in chopped pecans. Set aside.

Prepare the cake. First, open up the can of crushed pineapple and set aside 4 teaspoons of pineapple juice to use for the icing later.

In a large bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with the rest of the juices), lemon cake mix, eggs and oil. Mix for about 2 minutes using an electric mixer. Pour cake mix into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over the top of the cake batter.

Bake for about 35-38 minutes (until it bounces back to the touch or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.) Note: As you can see below, some of my crumb topping sunk into the cake. This actually ended up being a really yummy and happy accident. It made it like a cinnamon roll cake. So don't worry if this happens to yours. It tastes amazing! Allow the cake to cool completely.

Prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and pineapple juice. Whisk until smooth.
