The first time I decided to try my hands on sponge cake, I was pleased to know that you don’t need to use 250g of unsalted butter nor use more than 2 eggs which would induce the sponge cake very dense and damp.
I even tried store bought Pineapple cakes which gave wet and damp buttery cake with pineapple rings but those cakes aren’t my cup of tea.
I prefer Pineapple cake that is soft and crumbly texture with crumbly toppings.
Hence, I decided try a different sponge cake recipe that had produced just as I had expected turnout.
Sponge cake makes a perfect Pineapple Crumble Cake.
All you need is self raising flour, brown sugar, Grade A eggs, fresh pineapple flesh with juice , roasted peanuts, seedless sultanas , cinnamon powder and extra teaspoon of baking powder.
Self-raising flour: You could replace it with wheat flour or plain flour but remember to sieve it to produce a fine and loose flour. You need 2 teaspoonful of baking powder instead of 1 teaspoon in order to produce a fluffy and raised up cake instead of sunken cake.
Fresh Pineapple: You can use canned pineapple cubes or rings. Measure the same weight, chop them finely and you can use the pineapple juice in the can instead of squeezing it out from the pineapple cubes.
Brown sugar: You can replace brown sugar with grated palm sugar or fine white sugar or icing sugar. However if you are using white sugar, do reduce the weight into half because brown sugar is less sweet than white sugar. Otherwise your pineapple cake would turn out too sweet.
Peanuts: You can replace roasted peanuts with ready packed ground nuts without the skins, roasted almonds, roasted cashew nuts or hazel nuts. Chop them well or use the food processor to roughly chop coarsely the nuts. These nuts would produce a nice chewy and crumbly bites for the inner cake texture.
Sultanas: You can replace sultanas with other dried fruits such as apricots, raisins, red or green cherries or prunes. Sultanas are added into this pineapple cake for more fibre and easy bowel movements.
Cinnamon: This is an optional ingrdient that you totally remove it but I would strongly to add maybe a pinch of two into the pineapple cake to produce the tingy and richly spice flavor.
Tips:
You can garnish top of the cake with fruits if you desire
Chill cake in fridge if cannot finish.
