PINEAPPLE CAKE

Cake is everyone's most favorite dessert.I had some canned pineapples in my pantry and i wanted to make something with it other than the usual pineapple rasam (which i will talk about in a different post).Pineapple cake was the first thing that came in my mind.I used a basic vanilla cake recipe as a base.To give it the pineapple flavor i used pineapple juice as the liquid ingredient and to top it i also added chopped pineapples in the batter to give it that extra zing.The cake so moist and tasty.My husband said its one of the best cake i ever made.I just couldnt be happier.
This goes for the Recipe marathon -day 6
