More than a desert cake. Then the rest of us sat down and made it our reunion eating table, as we all dug in together.

In one bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Cream the Butter and Sugar:

Mix the softened butter with sugar, beating until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Add Eggs for Airiness:

Infuse with Pineapple Flavor:

Add vanilla extract and pineapple juice to the batter. The pineapple juice especially enhances the sweet, tropical aroma of the cake.

“The magic of baking a cake is in the preparation. You need to respect the ingredients and give each step the attention it deserves.”

Adding Pineapple Chunks Tips

Make sure your pineapple chunks are fully drained before adding them to the batter. The fruit of the date will have too much moisture and make your cake wet or fudgy.

Strain the pineapple well:

Lightly press pineapple chunks between layers of a paper towel to eliminate excess juice.

Sprinkle flour:

Sprinkle with a bit of added flour, you may want to sprinkle the pineapple chunks in additional flour before folding it into the batter. It will help them mix in more uniformly of the insides rather than sinking to the bottom.

Chop your pineapple:

if the chunks are too big, you might want to give them a small chop so they play well when wrapped inside each slice.

“Balancing moisture is key. If you have a lot of syrup, the cake will be soaked; if you do not add enough then it remains dry. Pineapple pieces are that sweet spot” Paul Hollywood, Master Chef

Butter (softened)	½ cup
Powdered sugar	4 cups
