Ingredients

Sponge

Eggs - 5 (250gms)

Powdered Sugar - 125 gms

Flour - 125gms ( flour= half the weight of the eggs i.e. 125gms )

Cornflour - 2 tbs (makes the cake texture lighter)

Baking powder - 1tsp

Salt - 1 pinch

Vanilla Essence/Extract - 1 tsp

Pineapple Essence/Extract - 1 tsp

Filling/Topping:

Cream - 400ml (whipping/35% fat)

Icing Sugar - 3-4 Tbsp

Pineapple Essence/Extract - 1 tsp

Pineapple Bits - 1 tin/approx 1 cup of chopped bits

Directions

For the sponge

Preheat oven to 190deg C , reduce to 180deg C after 10 mins of putting the cake in.

Grease and line a 9"ring tin; A springform cake tin is always better.

Sift the flour + baking powder + salt + cornflour 3 times.

Beat the eggs and sugar well with beater till very thick ribbon falls and holds in place for at least 5 seconds (beat for approx 10mins)

Add vanilla essence + pineapple essence and beat for 1 min.

Gently fold in the sifted flour; mix lightly so that air doesnt escape.

Turn gently into tin and bake for 30-35mins till done.

Once done, remove from tin after 5 mins and leave on rack to cool completely. Cut horizontally into 3 layers.

Filling:

Chop the pineapple bits into tiny pieces,and reserve some bigger bits for the topping.

Whip 400ml whipping cream with 4tbs pwdrd sugar +1 tsp pineapple essence until thick and holds peaks.

Reserve 1/2 for icing the top.

Take about 1/4 a cup of cream(approx 4-5 tbsp), and colour it with yellow food colour.

In the remainder of the cream ,fold in the chopped pineapple bits.

Place the bottom most layer of the sponge on your serving platter, spread 1/2 of the whipped cream and bits over it.

Place the middle layer over this, and repeat with the rest of the fruit cream.

Topping:

Spread the remaining pineapple cream over the top and sides of the cake.

Pipe a decoration with the coloured yellow cream from a zipbag with the corner snipped. I have marbled the cake. Use silver dragees if you like.

Pipe a border with the coloured cream.

Chill well before serving.

Note: If you think the sponge hasn't come out very soft, you can sprinkle the first 2 layers with 1/4 cup of a mixture of the pineapple syrup and juice of 1/2 a lemon (add a little sugar if you think it isn't sweet enough). Make sure you remember to sprinkle the layer only after placing it in position on the serving platter

That is one gorgeous cake, how did you do the top with the little waves in it???

vindee 2 years, 2 months ago said:
Hi Henrie,Thanks for yr comment. I did something called 'marbling'. It's quite easy, but very effective in appearance. You need to pipe thin, parallel lines of coloured cream from a baggie. Then gently drag a cocktail stick (adjacent, if the word is correct) to create a drag like effect. This can be done in one or both directions. Not sure if it makes sense. I saw it in a picture many moons ago, and loved it instantly.

Hi Vindee.. I cook at all different hours. I am caregiver for my Mamma and Pappa who live with us and my husband is disabled; so I am awake at all hours of the day and night. I also cook for a sort of meals on wheels so don't be surprised at the hours you hear from me. This site helps me keep my sanity. i had just bought a very fresh pineapple and was all awake so I made it....not as fancy tho and almost fell asleep in the icing LOL but it was picked up today for a woman in the semior rehab center who is 101 today...so you did great posting it...Thanks again.Like I said it looked not quite as fancy but I put a lot of love in it and they will save some for my little family here so I will get a taste. Just wanted to explain. You make great 'stuff' .. thanks.
