💡 Tips & Notes

• Don’t drain the pineapple — the juice is key for the moist texture.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter for a cozy flavor boost.
• This cake gets even better the next day after the topping soaks in!
• Store covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
