In a separate bowl, beat eggs until lemon colored (about 5 minutes)

Step 7

Gradually beat in sugar, 6 tbsp of reserved pineapple juice and vanilla.

Step 8

In small bowl, combine dry ingredients.

Step 9

Add dry ingredients to wet batter and combine until fully incorporated.

Step 11

Bake approximately 45 minutes, or until wooden pick thrust into the center of the cake comes out clean.
