INGREDIENTS

For the Cake:

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 6 oz white chocolate, melted and cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk

For the Pineapple Filling:

• 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional Toppings:

• Whipped cream or whipped topping
• White chocolate curls or shavings
• Toasted coconut flakes

DIRECTIONS

• Step No.1: Make the filling
  In a saucepan, combine crushed pineapple, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Let cool completely.

• Step No.2: Preheat and prepare pans
  Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.

• Step No.3: Mix dry ingredients
  In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

• Step No.4: Cream butter and sugar
  In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

• Step No.5: Add chocolate and vanilla
  Mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract until combined.

• Step No.6: Combine and bake
  Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Divide evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool.

• Step No.7: Assemble the cake
  Place one layer on a plate, spread pineapple filling over it, then top with the second cake layer. Decorate as desired.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

• Use Room Temp Ingredients: Ensure butter, eggs, and milk are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better rise.

• Cool Filling Fully: Pineapple filling must be completely cooled before assembling to avoid a soggy cake.

• Don’t Overmix Batter: Stir gently when combining wet and dry ingredients to keep the cake soft and fluffy.

• Melt Chocolate Slowly: Use low heat or a double boiler to melt white chocolate without burning it.

• Use Parchment Paper: This helps the cake release easily from the pan and keeps the layers smooth.

• Chill Before Slicing: Chilling the assembled cake for 30 minutes before slicing helps it hold its shape.

• Decorate Just Before Serving: For freshest presentation, garnish with pineapple slices and white chocolate right before serving.

VARIATIONS

• Tropical Twist: Add shredded coconut to the batter or frosting for extra tropical flavour and texture.

• Berry Boost: Replace pineapple filling with a mix of strawberries and raspberries for a summer berry version.

• Cupcake Version: Bake the batter in cupcake tins and inject the filling into the centre before frosting.

• Lemon Zing: Add lemon zest to the batter for a tangy complement to the sweet white chocolate.

• Chocolate Swap: Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white for a richer cake with a bold contrast to the pineapple.

• Nutty Crunch: Add chopped macadamia nuts or almonds to the batter for crunch and depth.

• Layered Look: Slice each cake in half for four thin layers, alternating pineapple filling and frosting between each.
