A moist, tender cake with tropical sweetness and a nutty green hue — and it takes just 10 minutes to put together. The Pistachio Pineapple Cake is a vintage American classic built on five pantry staples, baked in a single pan, and reliably beloved at potlucks, showers, and summer gatherings. No mixer, minimal cleanup, and a total cost of under $8 for 12 generous servings.
