Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the pineapple juice, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using), and continue mixing until everything is well combined.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared 9×13-inch pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Make the Pineapple Glaze:
While the cake is cooling, make the glaze by whisking together the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and melted butter in a small bowl.
Whisk until the glaze is smooth and creamy.
