Pineapple Cake Recipe

A pineapple cake has a crumbly, fragrant crust and a sweet, creamy fruit filling. The addition of pineapple to any dish elevates its flavour, be it flavoured rice or curds. It provides the fruity zing and balanced sweetness to the pineapple cake, apart from enhancing the aesthetic quality of the dish. It is one of the easiest and most popular cake recipes. When the flour mixture is added to the sugar and butter mixture, the batter should be beaten properly till it becomes light and foamy. Brown sugar can be used instead of white sugar to make little difference. Pineapple juice can be used instead of pineapple crush. For the health-conscious folks, using butter can be reduced or may be replaced with low fat vegetable oil. Nuts can be added on top for garnishing. It is better to use pineapple chunks instead of grated pineapple, as it ensures that every piece of cake contains a chunk of the fruit. Cream frosting goes well with this cake, but for a change butter icing can also be used. The pineapple and cherry used for decoration add colour to the cake and make it even more tempting. A slight variation in this recipe can be used to prepare the upside down pineapple cake, in which the pineapple rings and cherries are placed first in the tray, after which the cake batter is poured on them. The baking tray has to hold in an upside down position after cooking is completed to get the final product. The oven should be pre-heated to the correct temperature. The baking tray or pan should be slightly greased with butter to avoid stickiness. After 40-45 minutes, a toothpick should be inserted in the core of the cake to check for cooking. It should come out clean. Pineapple cake can be stored in the refrigerator. 

A delicious crumbly, sweet fruit filled cake accompanied with a cup of coffee or tea makes it irresistible.
