Pineapple cake recipe | Pineapple loaf cake | Pineapple cake in oven
Cake baking has no restrictions, in the basic cake recipe you can actually incorporate whatever flavor you want. I had a pineapple essence lying around on fridge, so I wanted to make a pineapple flavored cake. This cake is actually a modified version of the normal vanilla sponge cake recipe. So, you can call it as pineapple flavored sponge cake or pineapple loaf cake.
To give this cake a rich pineapple flavor, I have used pineapple essence instead of vanilla extract which we generally use in cakes and I have also added some store-bought pineapple juice. You can also use fresh juice here if you're adding pineapple essence / extract since fresh pineapple juice won't add much flavor when it's added alone. If you're not using pineapple essence / extract use your favorite brand of store-bought pineapple juice.
Generally for cakes, milk, water or any other liquid ingredient is added. Here I have used pineapple juice as a milk / water substituent. These kind of substituents will incorporate the desired flavor in your cake.
If you like adding pineapple chunks, you can add that. Serve this cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it tastes delicious. I sprinkled some tutti frutti on top to make it more colorful. You can even use chopped dry fruits and nuts.
