1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

well drained

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

- Fold in the crushed pineapple gently into the batter.

Notes
Ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to avoid a soggy cake. This cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream.
