Tropical Pineapple Cake Recipes

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
• Grease a 20x30cm slab tin.
• Combine all ingredients except pineapple into a large bowl and beat until smooth.
• Add well drained pineapple (very important) and stir through.
• Pour into prepared tin.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool and serve from the tin.
• Dust with icing sugar to serve or a simple lemon icing.

TROPICAL PINEAPPLE COCONUT RUM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a large 12" Bundt or tube pan (or spray well with Bakers' Joy).
• 2. Mix all cake ingredients together at low speed for 30 sec, then at medium speed for 2 min.
• 3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• 4. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center. Cool in pan until cake is completely cool. Make glaze while cake is cooling.
• 5. RUM GLAZE: Melt butter in a saucepan.
• 6. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• 7. Add pineapple and boil 1 more minute while stirring.
• 8. Remove from heat and add rum; set aside and cool 10 minutes.
• 9. Poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake (I use a chopstick). Spoon glaze over cake bottom a little at a time so it soaks in until all glaze is used. Let cake sit for at least 30 minutes and then transfer to serving plate. The longer it sits, the better it gets!
