lol

I wonder if it is that simple? Bet it is and I look silly lol

I want to do a large traybake and so need a good recipe.

Topping:
5 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
6 canned pineapple slices, drained (reserve juice)
6 maraschino cherries

Cake:
2 large eggs, separated
4oz sugar
6oz cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 fluid oz reserved pineapple juice

Melt the butter and pour into the bottom of a 9" round cake pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Stir until sugar is dissolved and spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of the pan.

Arrange the pineapple slices over the sugar mixture. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. Mix in the flour, baking powder, salt and pineapple juice.

In a clean, dry bowl beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold the whites into the cake mix and spread evenly over the pineapple.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2 to 3 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Ooooooh, yum.

Easier version:

Ingredients
5oz butter
1oz soft brown sugar
8oz can pineapples, drained
4 glacé cherries, halved
4 oz caster sugar
2 eggs, beaten
6oz self-raising flour

Melt 1oz butter and stir in brown sugar. Pour into greased 8" round cake tin. Place pineapple rings and cherries on top of butter and sugar.

Cream remaining butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, then gradually beat in tye eggs. Fold in the flour.

Spread the mixture over the pineapple rings and bake at 180°C/250°F/Gas Mark 4 for 1 hour. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out.

I'd just adapt that for your massive tray marsy! Sounds yummy!

so would that work with my fresh pineapple then?

hope so. Also... what quantity/size cake would it make?

Ta

That looks like a standard recipe for an 8inch tin. How about doubling it?

It's like having a fix, reading this thread

That's a recipe for an 8" tin, yes.

yeah doubling looks good chocolatey cousin!

And it's yummy ...

.......then you can send me some! (and hunkers square!)

Ooooh that takes me back - it was one of the first things I ever made in Domestic Science. Ds1's idea of hell though - hidden fruit (he doesn't eat fruit). Ah well.

If you turned it out though it wouldn't be hidden though...ignore me, I ramble.

excellent!

Will bake tomorrow!

The kids are gonna love me! lol

They do love you when you bake, don't they? Mine are like "wow, did you make this yourself? Mmmmmm...yummy." Very gratifying it is.

mars which one did you end up baking? was it any good?
