#BundtAMonth : Pineapple Bundt Cake

 

Canned fruits were spoilt for choice during the Chinese New Year and in order not to miss out on the attractive bargains,  I bought some home as gifts or for dessert.  Chanced upon a recipe for Pineapple Bundt Cake calling for undrained crushed canned pineapple and I was game for an experiment!   Although the texture was a bit dense, it wasn't a disappointment as the cake was moist, soft and  full of pineapple flavour.














Recipe for Pineapple Bundt Cake (adapted from tasteofhome.com with slight modification)

Ingredients
  • 8 oz butter
  • 7 oz caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 2  tsp lemon juice
  • 11 oz plain flour
  • 1  tsp baking powder
  • 14 oz crushed pineapple with juice (I blended them)
  • A pinch of salt
Glaze :  4 Tbsp icing sugar +  3 tsp lemon juice, mix well.

 Method
  1.  Blend the pineapple with juice, set aside.
  2. Sift the flour with baking powder and salt, set aside.
  3. Cream the butter with sugar till light, soft and creamy.
  4. Add in the egg yolks one at a time, mix well, followed by the egg whites.  Mix till well incorporated.
  5. Fold in the sifted flour and mix well, scrapping from the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl.
  6. Mix in the crushed pineapple.
  7. Pour the batter into a well greased and flour dusted 10 cup Bundt pan.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 55 to 60 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  9. Let cake cool for about 15 mins., before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

    Nevertheless I bet a slice of this would taste much more good with a cup of coffee to go with it, right?

      You're absolutely right, Mel .... think our local 'kopi O' will be good as well.

    Cheah, that's a very beautiful cake! The glaze makes it so pretty and elegant. I guess some cakes are meant to be dense but as long as it is moist and soft and flavourful, I love it!

    Lovely bundt! Looks so moist and delicious! I find it odd that our country produces canned pineapples but can never find crushed canned pineapple locally!

    Doesn't all that pineapple liquid make it too wet to rise?

      No, it was all well incorporated into the batter and also makes the cake moist.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!

Pineapple Tarts ~ CNY 2013

Chinese New Year is not too far away and a quick look at the supermarkets and bakeries revealed that the prices of the festive goodies have gone up again.  Prices of  food stuff have gone up drastically and look like they are here to stay.  It's much more economical  to DIY when you know how to do so....... These Pineapple 'Closed' Tarts are a bit different from the  Nastar   I posted previously.  Shaping the tarts this way is less time consuming and moreover they taste just as good! Recipe for Pineapple Tarts ~ CNY 2013 Ingredients  125 gm butter/margarine 25 gm icing sugar 1 egg yolk 190 gm plain flour 1 Tbsp cornflour 1/8  tsp salt 1/4  tsp vanilla 370 gm pineapple paste 1 egg yolk + 1  tsp water = egg glaze Method Sift the plain flour with salt, mix in the cornflour, set aside.
