Stir in the crushed pineapple and buttermilk until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the pineapple frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, crushed pineapple, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Once the cake has cooled completely, frost the top and sides with the pineapple frosting.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the cake.
Expert Tips for Success
For the best results, make sure to drain the crushed pineapple well before adding it to the cake batter. Excess moisture can make the cake too dense and affect the texture. Additionally, if you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, you can add a teaspoon of coconut extract to the cake batter.
