\n- Preheat oven to 350\u00ba. Grease a 9″ round cake pan and line it with parchment or wax paper.<\/li>\n
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.<\/li>\n
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the eggs one at a time.<\/li>\n
- Scrape down the bowl again, then add the pineapple, vanilla, and lemon zest, beat on medium-low speed.<\/li>\n
- Add the flour mixture in three batches, scraping down the sides once again before giving the batter one more stir. Pour batter into pan, smoothing out the top.<\/li>\n
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, and test with a toothpick. Let cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
