I was asked for a fresh pineapple cake for a recent tasting and found this recipe. It was so well received. It's moist and buttery without being heavy and sweet without being too sweet. The fresh fruit pieces were such a surprise to those tasting. It also bakes well in small batches you just have to keep an eye on it and it goes great with different frosings! Well done and thanks for sharring.
