Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Cake Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup Pineapple Juice
• 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
• 4 large Egg Whites
• 0.5 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1 cup Whipped Cream
• as needed for garnish Maraschino Cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the pineapple juice. Fold in the pineapple chunks.
5. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
6. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cake has cooled, spread whipped cream over the top and garnish with maraschino cherries.
10. Serve and enjoy!
