Best Pineapple Cake with Pineapple Filling and Topping
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
– 100 grams all-purpose flour (maida)
– 100 grams sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 8 drops of vanilla essence
– Butter and extra flour for greasing the tin
For the Pineapple Filling:
– Half to 3/4 of a fresh pineapple, cut into small pieces
– 2-3 tablespoons sugar
– 1-2 cup water
– A few drops of pineapple essence
For the Whipping Cream:
– 250 grams (approximately 2-3 cups) Tropolite whipping cream (no added sugar required)
For Moistening the Cake:
– Pineapple syrup from the filling (use this syrup for moistening the cake layers; do not prepare extra sugar syrup)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pineapple Filling:
– In a saucepan, combine the chopped fresh pineapple, 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 cups of water.
– Cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved (this should only take a few minutes).
– Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool completely before transferring it to a small bowl. Keep it aside for later use.
2. Preheat the Oven:
– Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.
3. Prepare the Baking Tin:
– Grease a round baking tin with butter, applying it on all the sides. don’t use melted butter, and dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
4. Mix the Cake Batter:
– In a mixing bowl, combine 3 large eggs and 100 grams of sugar.
– Using an electric beater, blend them until fluffy and light in color.
– Add 8 drops of vanilla essence to this mixture and beat again until well combined.
– Gradually sift in 100 grams of all-purpose flour (maida) while carefully folding it into the batter with a spatula, being cautious not to overmix.
5. Prepare the Baking Process:
– Pour the batter into the greased baking tin, ensuring an even spread.
– Important: Do not tap or shake the tin after pouring the batter. Instead, gently use a toothpick or a spatula to remove any air bubbles present in the batter.
– Place the baking tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it is not done, continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, then check again. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready; if not, check again after a few more minutes.
6. Prepare the Whipping Cream:
– While the cake is baking, whip 250 grams of Tropolite whipping cream until stiff peaks form. No sugar should be added.
7. Assemble the Cake:
– Once the pineapple cake has cooled for 30 minutes, cut it into three even layers.
– To moisten each layer, brush the pineapple syrup (reserved from the pineapple filling preparation) onto the surface of the cake layers using a pastry brush.
– Place the bottom layer on a cake board. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the moist cake layer, followed by a generous amount of pineapple filling.
– Place the second layer of cake on top and repeat: moisten with pineapple syrup, add whipped cream, and top with pineapple filling.
– Finally, place the third layer of cake on top. Moisten this layer with the pineapple syrup, then spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake for decoration.
8. Decorate the Cake:
– Use any remaining whipped cream to decorate the top and sides of the cake as desired. You can add additional pineapple pieces or other decorations to enhance the appearance.
9. Chill and Serve:
– Chill the layered cake in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hour to allow it to set before serving.
