Pineapple Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Cake:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened: Adds richness and tenderness to the cake.
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened: Creates a creamy texture and depth of flavor.

• 6 large eggs: Helps bind everything together and adds structure.
• 3 cups all-purpose flour: Forms the base of the cake.
• 1/2 tsp baking powder: Gives a slight lift to prevent the cake from being too dense.

• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained: The star ingredient that brings a touch of tropical sweetness.

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar: Creates a smooth, sweet glaze.
• 2–3 tbsp pineapple juice: Reserved from the canned pineapple or fresh juice for a zesty kick.
