How to Store Pineapple Crumb Sheet Cake
Pineapple sheet cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. It can be stored up to one week without refrigeration or freezing, should it last that long.
Pineapple sheet cake can also be wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a zip-lock bag for easy storage in the freezer. It can be stored in the freezer for up to four months.
If you plan on storing Pineapple sheet cake longer than a week, I would recommend freezing it. However, the cake’s texture may become grainy from being frozen and thawed. This is not harmful or dangerous but it does change the taste and texture of the dish.
To eat, simply let it thaw at room temperature before serving.
Pineapple – Use both the crushed pineapple and the juice in the can, do not drain. Reserve 3 tablespoons of juice for the icing.
Cake mix – Use pineapple cake mix for the best results. If you can’t get your hands on it, you can use yellow sheet cake instead and still get a really tasty pineapple flavoured cake.
Eggs – Make sure they are room temperature for the fluffiest cake.
Oil – Any neutral flavoured oil will work. You could also use melted butter here since the pineapple will help keep the cake moist.
Flour – For the crumble, use the scoop and level method.
Brown sugar – Use dark or light brown sugar for the crumble. Pack it when measuring.
Butter – Use softened butter to make the crumble.
Nuts – I used pecans, they work well with pineapple. You can omit if you like or substitute with walnuts.
