Apple, Pineapple Cake

Pin It Now!

I get this recipe, Apple cake from Joy of Baking. I like the idea of eating fruits and cake at the same time. Originally it only use apple in this recipe. Since I like the combination of apple and pineapple, I add in both into this cake and become… Apple, pineapple cake :D In order to enhance the fragrant of pineapple, I puree some before add into the batter. I just like the smell of baked pineapple!

I had made some changes to suite my taste.
