Instructions

Core and peel half a pineapple; cut in half again. Dice one half and slice the other half. Alternatively, drain a 20-oz can of pineapple in juice and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 355°F/180°C and line the bottom of a spring-form cake pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides and bottom with butter and flour, shaking out excess flour.
Beat the eggs and sugar with a stand mixer or electric beater for 3-4 minutes until pale and fluffy. Gradually add vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lime juice and zest. Mix until smooth.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan and level the surface. Top with diced pineapple, add the remaining batter, and arrange the sliced pineapple on top gently.
Bake for 40 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, the cake is done, otherwise bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Once baked, transfer the cake to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Then, remove from the pan, transfer to a serving plate, and dust with powdered sugar or brush with honey or apricot jam.

Notes

Ensure eggs and sour cream are at room temperature for best results.
Feel free to substitute fresh pineapple with canned pineapple if needed.
For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding coconut flakes to the batter.
