Steps:

  • The Cake: Place drained pineapple on a plate and pat the pineapple pieces dry and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Mix on low for one minute. Add the butter pieces and continue to mix on low until the mixture resembles sand. In a small bowl whisk together the eggs , sour cream and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix on low until the ingredients are just combined. Increase speed to medium high and mix for 1-1/2 minutes or until smooth. Fold the pineapple into the batter. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth batter with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle crunch topping over all. Bake the cake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. After 30 minutes of baking, cover the top of cake loosely with a piece of aluminum foil to help prevent the top of the cake from browning too much. Serve topped with warm caramel sauce.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 - 20 oz well drained, crushed pineapple
NUT CRUMBLE
1/3 c flour
1/4 c packed, brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c cold butter
1/2 c pecans
BATTER
1/2 c evaporated milk
1/4 c water
1/2 c sugar
1 1/2 c bisquick

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish or pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside. For the crumb mixture: I like to use my processor for crumble - mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add butter and pulse about 10 times, then add nuts and pulse another 5 - 7 times until nuts are chopped. If using a bowl, combine flour, cinnamon and brown sugar, work in the butter until crumbly, then fold in nuts.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, add the water and milk, mix then whisk in the sugar and Bisquick until smooth. Spread half the Bisquick mixture into the bottom of prepared dish. Sprinkle evenly with half the crumble mixture and then sprinkle evenly with the drained pineapple.
  • 3. Spread remaining batter over the pineapple and then sprinkle the remaining crumble over the batter. Bake for 25 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
  • 4. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Ensure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting. This will enable them to mix more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before adding it to the batter.
  • Spread the pineapple filling evenly over the cake batter before baking. This will ensure that the filling is distributed evenly throughout the cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to bring it to room temperature before spreading it on the cake. This will make it easier to spread and will help it adhere to the cake better.

Conclusion:

Pineapple Crunch Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of a moist and fluffy cake, a tangy pineapple filling, and a sweet and crunchy streusel topping is sure to please everyone. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to become a favorite in your recipe collection.
