Enjoy the weekend and indulge yourself in a delicious pineapple cake made at home.
Ingredients
For the cake
1 cup – Castor sugar
2 tsp – Lemon juice
180g – All-purpose flour
2 tsp – Vanilla extract
300ml – Milk
½ cup – Vegetable oil
2 tbsp – Milk powder
1 tsp – Baking soda
¼ cup – Yoghurt
For compote
2 tbsp – Sugar
60ml – Water
200g – Chopped pineapple
Methods:
First things first, preheat the oven at 180C. Simultaneously, line your cake tin with parchment paper.
Next, take a bowl and add sugar, oil. Whisk the two ingredients at high speed. Add vanilla essence and curd. Whisk again. Once done, add lemon juice, milk and give it a final mix.
Take another bowl and place a large sieve over it. Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Mix the wet and dry ingredients and bake at 180C for 30 minutes.
While it is baking, prepare the compote. Take a saucepan and add pineapple chunks, sugar, and water. Cook over low, medium heat until the pineapple reduces and looks like jam; once the cake is ready, demould and cuts it into two layers.
Brush it with pineapple compote or sugar syrup. Put some whipping cream on the edges, and in the center spread the compote. Add whipped cream on top, and then add the second dry cake layer. Top it off with dollops of whipped cream.
Spread it evenly on the top, and enjoy!
