Pineapple Pound Cake: Soft and Spongy Delight
Equipment
- 1 Fry Pan
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Loaf pan
- Parchment paper
- 1 Nonstick dish
- 1 Stainless Steel Trivet
Ingredients
- ½ cup of Pineapple (sliced)
- ½ cup of Water
- 3 tbsp of Sugar
- 6 drops of Yellow Food Coloring (optional)
- 2 Medium-sized Eggs
- ½ cup of Sugar
- ¼ cup of Oil
- 1 cup of All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp of Baking Powder
Instructions
- In a frying pan, combine 1/2 cup sliced Pineapple, 1/2 cup Water, 3 tbsp Sugar, and 6 drops of Yellow Food Coloring (if using). Boil the mixture until the water is reduced to half, approximately 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat 2 Eggs and 1/2 cup Sugar for 3 minutes using a whisk. Add 1/4 cup Oil to the mix and beat for an additional minute. Incorporate 1 cup Flour and 1 tsp Baking Powder into the batter, mixing well. Finally, add 1/3 cup of the prepared Pineapple and blend it into the batter.
- Grease a loaf pan with oil and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Use a nonstick dish for baking. Place a Stainless Steel Trivet inside the dish and preheat for 5 minutes.
- Position the loaf pan inside the preheated dish. Bake on low to medium heat for 40 minutes, ensuring even cooking. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Pound Cake
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, ensure it’s well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
- Allow eggs and any refrigerated ingredients to come to room temperature before starting. Room-temperature ingredients blend more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy for a softer texture.
- When adding dry ingredients to wet ingredients, fold the mixture gently. Over mixing can lead to a denser cake.
- Preheat the nonstick dish with the Stainless Steel Trivet to ensure even baking from the bottom.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. This helps to set the texture and enhances the flavors.
- Get creative with toppings like powdered sugar, glaze, or shredded coconut.
- Store any remaining cake in an airtight container, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Enjoy for several days.
