Pineapple Cake

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
8 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
16 oz crushed pineapples

Method
Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl and combine. 
In a small bowl, stir together the milk and vanilla.
In a large bowl beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Turn the mixer to medium and slowly add the sugar. 
Increase the speed to high and continue to mix until lightened in texture and color, 2 to 3 minutes total. 
Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture and milk mixture little at a time. 
Mix each addition just enough to incorporate, as over mixing will lead to a tougher cake. 

Preheat oven to 350 deg C

Grease and flour a 9 inch pan 
Pour the batter into an even layer. 
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean 30-45 minutes. 
Take a pan out and let cool.
Run a knife around the edge of the pan to remove
