This is a recipe I have been planning to try for almost two years. Somehow I never got around to doing it until a couple of weeks back. It was my father in law's birthday and he loves cakes, infact both my in laws are foodies, so I thought it's the perfect time to try it. Turned out to be so moist, fragrant and pleasingly sweet. Real comfort food! Give it a try if you love pineapples, warm cakes or just want to give yourself a cuddle.
For this you will need -
Butter - 50gms + 120 gms
Brown Sugar - 160 gms
Canned Pineapple or Fresh - 7 Slices ( I used canned)
Flour - 200 gms
White Sugar - 200 gms
Eggs - 2 large, separated
Milk - 120 ml
Baking Powder - 2 Tspn
Vanilla Extract - 1 Tspn
Salt - a pinch
Method -
Prepare a 9inch round cake pan by smearing butter and sprinkling a little flour.
Take the 50gm butter and brown sugar in a think bottom pan and allow to melt and dissolve. Now let it cook without stirring till bubbles just begin to appear along the edges. Turn off the heat and pour into the cake dish. Arrange the pineapple slices as shown. If using canned make sure to drain all the liquid.
Pre heat the oven to 350 degF.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt (if using unsalted butter). In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Scrape down the sides once in a while. Now add the vanilla extract, egg yolks and beat well. Add the flour mixture and milk alternatingly and fold into the batter.
In a third bowl, beat the egg whites till soft peaks formed and fold it into the batter. Pour this over the pineapple and bake for 45 - 55 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out clean. Let it cool for 5 - 10 minutes and run a knife along the edge of the pan. Turn upside down and voila the cake is ready!
