📝 Ingredients List:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

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

In a separate bowl, mix coconut milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla until well blended.
Combine wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until just incorporated.

Let the cake cool completely before slicing. 🍍
