Yesterday I realised I needed to make something for our church family lunch, because we’d agreed to bring pudding for 15 people on Sunday, and hadn’t got a bought pudding/cake that we could bring. I’d been meaning to make flapjacks again, because I made them many years ago for church and they went down really well. This time I had to use a different recipe, for a few reasons: I don’t have the recipe that I used last time (I found it off the Net), I used bananas in the last recipe and I had no bananas to use! I always prefer using honey instead of golden sugar – just makes me feel like it’s a bit healthier as it’s more natural.
It made enough for 10 people, so I thought hmm, what else can I make. I realised I had tins of pineapple in my cupboard and felt inspired to use it. After a bit of googling, I found a pineapple cake, with only three ingredients. I was a bit unsure if it would work, but found the recipe on a few sites, so I thought it can’t be that risky. I decided to make half the recipe, because I was getting low on self-raising flour, caster sugar and meant if it didn’t work I’d only wasted one small tin of pineapple.
The recipe was:
125g Self-raising flour
100g Caster sugar (although I used 50g sugar and 5 dessert spoons of sweetner)
227g Can of pineapple (supposed to be crushed, so I quickly blended chunks)
Cook in the oven at 180 degrees. Cook for about 30-40mins. It turned out lovely! Such a simple recipe. It’s quite a stodgy consistancy though, because there’s lots of pineapple in it.
