Uh oh, no report...
Well I knew it would be hard to get the liquids right.
I plan to count all the pineapple as liquid and add some water if it seems obviously too dry.
Haven’t got to the spice version yet either. I’m so prejudiced to using just real food for flavor that I don’t have the spices. But will get them and try it. It sounds too good not to.
Ha!!! Sorry - might say report delayed as DH & I were plowing thru the cake pan with fork in each hand! Delicious. Had a piece last night and tempted to have another. However, held our forks and plan another piece in about an hour ....dessert and coffee (DH loves his coffee.) The cake was moist, the same light crispy edges and the coconut extract complimented the pineapple. Drained the can of chunk pineapple and using that liquid with cold water to make the required amount of liquid. Again, so simple to make and love the fact it doesn’t need frosting. Prefer most cakes that way if they are moist enough. The frosting has always been way too sweet for these taste buds. Umm...wonder if shredded coconut would be too much!? Nonetheless the pineapple chunks which were used baked right in just as the rings did Just placed rows of them in the batter, pushing them to the bottom. Nice large bits when the cake was served. And as there is still over half a cake to be eaten, will say that pineapple has been in every piece thus far. Thanks so much for the start of a new relationship :)
Looking to the future, can picture the basic recipe with chocolate or butterscotch chips, etc etc etc Lots of paths leading from this beginning. Lemon, mandarin orange, fruit cocktail. Any number of attempted experiments to try.
Our ISP is not providing as it should. Storms came thru the past two nights and thou we needed the rain, they played havoc on our ISP (which hasn’t been providing A+ of late anyway) We were talking pineapple and other canned fruits. Think about peaches with almond extract or even canned apricot halves. Enough chit chat from Texas. Not much sleep last night After the beautiful sunset this evening and that last piece of cake (with coffee for DH) it’s time for the head to hit the pillow.
