#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?

    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.

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge. Snow Swallow Dessert  ~   天然野生雪燕 Ingredients 8 gm Snow Swallow gums 10 gm red dates 10 gm goji berries 20 gm dried longan Rock or piece sugar to taste 1 litre water Pandan leaves (optional) Method Soak the Snow Swallow gums in plenty of water for at least...
