This light and fluffy cake, layered with creamy frosting and juicy pineapple, is perfect for any celebration. Let’s dive into the tropical flavors of Pineapple Pastry

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)

For the Filling and Frosting:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pineapple (from canned pineapple)
  • Pineapple slices for garnish (optional)
  • Maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Cake:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the pineapple juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. Preparing the Whipped Cream Frosting:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.

  3. Assembling the Pineapple Pastry:

    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top.
    • Sprinkle chopped pineapple evenly over the whipped cream.
    • Place the second cake layer on top of the pineapple. Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
    • Garnish with pineapple slices and maraschino cherries if desired.

  4. Chilling the Pastry:

    • Refrigerate the pineapple pastry for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.

Serving the Pineapple Pastry:

  • Serve the pineapple pastry chilled, sliced into wedges.
