Pineapple Coconut Cake



Pineapple coconut cake is now my top favorite cake:) This is an easy and fragrant cake,sweet a little tangy,flavorful and buttery.If you like the combined flavor of pineapples and coconut you will surely love this. I have used sweetened pineapple in this recipe. You can use fresh pineapple with its juice which will make it even more flavorful. I did not add sugar as I have used sweetened pineapple, coconut and sweet condensed milk. You can add sugar as per your taste.It would be great with butter icing .  I used  whipped cream and pineapple rings and dusted with a little of confectionery sugar.



Ingredients

Flour- 1 1/4 cup
Baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Salt- 1/3 tsp
Sweetened Coconut- 1/2 cup
Sweetened Pineapple- 8 oz container
Eggs- 3
Butter- 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence- 1 tsp
Condensed milk- 1/2 cup
nutmeg powder- a pinch


Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Prepare cake pan by greasing with butter and dusting with flour and set aside.
Mix well the dry ingredients like flour,baking powder,salt coconut and nutmeg powder. Using a hand mixer beat egg and butter till light and fluffy. Blend in condensed milk and essence. Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture little at a time and slowly incorporate. Mix pineapples with  two tsps of flour and slowly incorporate into the batter.Pour into the pan and bake for 20 minutes or till the tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Try this...
Hope you will all enjoy..

  38. aaaawwwww...i can jus taste it. do you think i can add one cup grated carrot coz i've already grated and kept and tht'll come to one cup and more. and i want to do pineapple preserve with the fresh pineapple i have. how do you do it? my experiment is going to be a juggling act...i love this recipe. thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sounds a great combo, never tried pineapple and carrot combo but I am sure can never make a mess of it as carrots will not make the batter watery..but please do check with a carrot cake recipe..waiting for your pineapple carrot cake recipe and I will surely be the first to try:)

    I have only once tried making a plum preserve,( did not post it here)..I did not add pectin..just cooked it with pulp, sugar, lemon juice clove and a pinch of grated ginger till thick, transferred to glass bottles and submerged it in hot water for a few minutes and let it rest for about 24 hours to set.

  40. made this!!!!! loved it! i pureed the pineapple preserve (by mistake ;P) and added one cup grated carrot and 1/3 cup powdered kellogs choco squares. added some milk and powdered sugar to sweeten and loosen the batter.
    i'm a veteran carrot cake maker. you shd chk out the one in my blog. it's tried and tested and excellent. but improvise like 1 cup carrot, 1 cup chopped dates and nuts or tutti fruity 1 cup pineapple...and some cocoa powder. the variation is also there.
    regarding the pineapple jam squares..be warned..it doesn't taste like the mod pastry...very much like the traditional pastries we get in old kerala bakeries and it cannot be too soft either...
    making pathiri tomorrow...

Kerala Beef Vindaloo- Anglo-Indian Recipe

Kerala Beef Vindaloo Vindaloo is often synonymous with fiery, bold, pungent curries. It is one Indian curry that needs no introduction. It is lip-smacking delicious, tenderly cooked meat in a spicy gravy. It is almost pickle like with flavor of vinegar and ground mustard. But again, the perfect vindaloo curry strikes the right balance with chilies, aromatic spices, and vinegar- a perfect balance of acidity, spicy heat, and flavor of earthy spices. Authentic Goan Vindaloo is made with pork, but you can also use beef or mutton. Vindaloo may sound complicated, but it is an easy recipe. You can make a restaurant-style curry right in your kitchen. Today I am sharing two ways to cook this recipe. The  traditional slow-cooked stove top recipe  and  an Instant pot recipe . Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada

Uzhunnu Vada/Urad Dal Vada Uzhunnu vada or medu vada is a very common snack in south India and is a perfect accompaniment with a cup of hot piping tea.I like it as a snack but again cannot resist when it is served with idli,sambar and chutney as breakfast. One might wonder where does all the aroma come from? The  plain deep fried lentils is by itself flavorful because I make them often for  vada curry. But in uzhunnu vada the addition of pearl onions,ginger and curry leaves imparts a wonderful aroma that is irresistible.This is something I really missed when I came here to the US until I started making my home made version. Try this you will surely love it. Ingredients Urad Dal/Black lentil skinless- 1 cup Rice flour- 2 tsp Pearl Onions- 4-5 Ginger finely chopped- 1 inch thick Curry leaves finely chopped- 1 spring Green chilly  finely chopped- 3 Whole black pepper- 5-6 salt to taste Oil- 2 cup to fry Wash and soak urad dal and rice for about 4-5 hours.
