Pineapple Coffee Cake II
(8 servings)
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
-
1 cup crushed pineapple - drained
-
1 cup sour cream
-
1 cup confectioners sugar
-
1/4 cup pineapple juice
-
3/4 cup butter
-
1/2 cup sliced almonds
-
2 large eggs
-
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
-
2 additional Tablespoons pineapple juice
-
1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking dish with a generous coating of cooking spray (I use a 9x9 pan and have a little batter left over for a couple personal muffins).
In a large bowl, sift together the flour with the baking powder and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the eggs, 1/4 cup of juice and sour cream and mix well.
Add butter/sugar mixture to flour mixture and mix well. Fold in crushed pineapple.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for about 60 minutes. Check at 50 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of the coffeecake. It the toothpick comes out dry (no batter) the coffeecake is done.
Allow the coffeecake to cool.
To create a nice glaze, mix the remaining 2 Tablespoons of juice with the confectioners sugar and drizzle it over the coffeecake. Sprinkle with almonds for the finishing touch.
This coffee cake has a triple dose of pineapple. There's crushed pineapple and pineapple juice in the batter and then it gets a pineapple glaze.
Mr Breakfast would like to thank CurtAndMary for this recipe.
