For the Whipped Cream:

Instructions

1- Prepare the Cake:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a cake pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until frothy.
• Add 1 cup of milk and 2 sticks of melted unsalted butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
• Gradually add in 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 2 cups of flour. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.

2- Prepare the Pineapple Filling:

• In a pot, combine the chopped pineapple and 1 cup of sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
• Once the pineapple mixture has softened, use an immersion blender to purée until smooth.
• In a separate small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of water with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to form a slurry.
• Add the cornstarch slurry to the puréed pineapple and return to heat. Boil on medium heat for another 4 to 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

3- Prepare the Whipped Cream:

• In a chilled mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk.
• Whip the mixture using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

4- Assemble the Cake:

• Once the cake and pineapple filling have cooled, spread the pineapple filling evenly over the cake.
• Top with a generous layer of whipped cream.
• Optionally, garnish with pineapple slices or additional toppings of your choice.
