Featuring three layers of soft pineapple-infused cake, a creamy pineapple filling, and topped with a light whipped cream frosting, this cake is a delightful twist on your favorite pineapple desserts.

Powdered sugar, 1 1/2 cups

Dried pineapple slices for decoration


 Instructions:

 
Bake the Cake: Mix dry ingredients, cream butter with oil and sugar, then add eggs, crushed pineapple, and dry ingredients alternately. Divide into 3 pans and bake.

Cook sugar, cornstarch, pineapple with juice, and water until thickened. Chill completely.


Whipped Cream Frosting

The crushed pineapple adds moisture and flavor, so don't drain the juice.
