Pineapple Macadamia Nut Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
• Put pineapple, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Mix with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly while you make the icing, about 20 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese and butter for icing together in a bowl. Add powdered sugar, pecans, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Spread over warm cake. Refrigerate if not serving immediately.

Steps:

• 1. Place dried pineapple in a small container and microwave for a minute or so to heat it, then add rum and toss together. Cover well and set aside for an hour or so that it can absorb the rum and make as candied.
• 2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at the time and cream into butter mixture to blend well. Cut nuts and fruit into medium pieces, combine and flour with 1/2 cup of the flour, toss. Sift remaining flour and baking powder together. Fold into egg and butter mixture. Add Cream of Coconut and flavorings; mix well. Add nuts and fruit and fold in carefully.
• 3. Pour into a greased and paper-lined plain tube pan. Place in COLD oven and bake at 250 degrees for 3 hours. Cool slightly and remove carefully from pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Cut off the top of the pineapple and set aside. Peel the pineapple and finely chop 1/2 cup for the cake.
• Generously coat one 6-inch round cake pan and two 1-quart ovenproof bowls with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix as directed; stir in the diced pineapple.

• Trim the domed tops of all three cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level.
• Put one bowl cake, wide-side up, on a small cardboard circle. Top with a layer of frosting, then add the round cake, more frosting and the other bowl cake, wide-side down.
• Tint the remaining frosting yellow with food coloring. Spread all over the outside of the cake in a thin layer, reserving about 1/2 cup.
