Tropical Pineapple Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.
• Grease a 20x30cm slab tin.
• Combine all ingredients except pineapple into a large bowl and beat until smooth.
• Add well drained pineapple (very important) and stir through.
• Pour into prepared tin.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Cool and serve from the tin.
• Dust with icing sugar to serve or a simple lemon icing.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In your mixer cream butter and sugars on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, mashed banana, pineapple, vanilla and banana extracts, sour cream. Mix on low until well combined.
• 2. In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda.
• 3. Add entire flour mixture and mix on low until combined.
• 4. Grease and lightly flour 9x13 baking pan. Pour in batter and bake 30 to 35 minutes until done. Set aside to cool.
• 5. Combine glaze ingredients and mix until sugar has melted. Poke holes on top of cake and brush glaze over cake. You don't have to use the entire amount. I usually end up using about 3/4 of the glaze.
• 6. In a medium sauce pan add egg, evaporated milk, sugar, and butter. On medium heat cook and stir until thick and bubbling about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in coconut and macadamia nuts until combined. Cool to room temperature.
• 7. Spread topping over cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• SPRINGFORM PAN: Grease a 9-inch springform pan generously and set aside.
• TOPPING: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add butter and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is almost melted. Add rum and continue stirring until completely melted.
• Pour it into the greased pan. Place pineapple slices at the bottom as well as on the side before adding a maraschino cherry in the middle of each ring (add the ones on the sides later); set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC
• BATTER: In a bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and ground sea salt. Whisk the ingredients until well blended; set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add sugar and butter. With the paddle attachment on, process until creamy. Add one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add rum and vanilla extract; combine until blended.
• Add half dry ingredients, half the buttermilk and half sour cream. Process until just combined on low speed before increasing to speed 3. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients, buttermilk and sour cream: process the same way.
• Add sweetened shredded coconut, clean the sides of the bowl and process until blended.
• Pour the batter over the fruits and level it out. Place the maraschino cherries on the sides and with an angled spatula, push batter towards the fruits to secure them.
• Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean with a few crumbs.
• Remove from the heat and let it sit for 1 to 1 ½ hours.
• Using the dull side, run a spreader knife around the edges just to be sure it's not sticking to the sides before inverting the springform onto a serving plate. Unhook the latch and gently remove the springform pan.

• Cake:.
• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and flour 3 9" cake pans. Or you can use a 9 x 13" pan. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and remaining spices. Set aside.
• Beat eggs slightly in large bowl. Gradually beat in sugar until thick and lemon coloured. Slowly stir in oil. Add flour mixture and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
• Pour into prepared pans and bake 40 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool in pans then turn onto racks. Frost.

Steps:

• 1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a large 12" Bundt or tube pan (or spray well with Bakers' Joy).
• 2. Mix all cake ingredients together at low speed for 30 sec, then at medium speed for 2 min.
• 3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• 4. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center. Cool in pan until cake is completely cool. Make glaze while cake is cooling.
• 5. RUM GLAZE: Melt butter in a saucepan.
• 6. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.
• 7. Add pineapple and boil 1 more minute while stirring.
• 8. Remove from heat and add rum; set aside and cool 10 minutes.
• 9. Poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake (I use a chopstick). Spoon glaze over cake bottom a little at a time so it soaks in until all glaze is used. Let cake sit for at least 30 minutes and then transfer to serving plate. The longer it sits, the better it gets!

Steps:
