Step-by-Step Instructions 5 (always use H2 and H3)

1. Preheat and prep

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour mini bundt pans.

2. Cream butter and sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add eggs and wet flavors

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the crushed pineapple, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract.

4. Combine dry ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

5. Fill pans and bake

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pans, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and release

Let cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
