- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, well-drained

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Once cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
Notes
For best results, ensure the crushed pineapple is well-drained to prevent a soggy cake.
