Pineapple cake







This is the simplest recipe you can get for a pineapple cake! I used the regular dominos sugar and fresh pineapple.


Makes 1/2kg cake






Ingredients:

Refined Flour(Maida/all purpose flour)-115grams

Sugar-115g

Butter/Margarine-75g

Baking pwd-1/2tsp

Eggs-2

Vanilla essence/pineapple essence-few drops

Pineapple peices-1/4cup

Milk-1/4 cup




Method:
  1. Seive flour, add baking powder and keep aside.
  2. Pre-heat the oven to 385 degree F.
  3. In a mixing bowl take sugar and butter. Mix and cream well.
  4. Beat the eggs and add half of it to the sugar and butter mixture. Mix well and then add the remaining egg.
  5. Pour a few drops of vanilla essence, add flour and mix well. Add milk and mix well. When adding milk, do it little by little and make sure the batter is not too runny. Add pineapple pieces. You can use a hand mixer for the entire process.
  6. Take a greased cake tin, pour this batter and bake at 385 degree F for 25-30 min.
  7. Check with a knife to see when the cake is done. Insert knife in the center of the cake and if comes out clean cake is baked. If not let the cake bake for a few more minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let it cool. Turn the cake tin upside down on a clean tray or plate and serve.
