Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gently fold in the sour cream until evenly distributed.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple, ensuring the batter remains airy.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Glazing and Serving
  1. While the cake is baking, whisk together the icing sugar and pineapple juice until smooth, adjusting for pourable consistency.
  2. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing.
