Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
1 1/2 cups/335 grams fresh or thawed frozen pineapple chunks, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of fine sea or table salt
1 1/4 cups/155 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/105 grams dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped almonds or other nuts
2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups/180 grams all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea or table salt
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon dark rum or vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or whole Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan, a 9-by-2-inch round cake pan or a 9-inch square metal pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter the paper.
  • Prepare the pineapple: In a skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add pineapple, brown sugar, allspice and salt, and sauté until pineapple chunks are glossy and lightly browned in spots, 7 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, almonds, candied ginger, ground ginger, cinnamon and salt. Stir in melted butter, pinching the mixture with your fingers, until 1/2-inch crumbs form. Set aside.
  • Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer and a large bowl, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, then beat in rum and lime zest. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • On low speed, beat in half of the flour mixture until smooth, then beat in the sour cream, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in remaining flour just until incorporated.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan. Scatter cooled pineapple evenly across the surface of the cake. Top with ginger crumb mixture.
  • Bake until the center of the cake springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Use self-rising flour for the best results. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to every cup of all-purpose flour.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • For the caramelized pineapple, be sure to use fresh pineapple. Canned pineapple will not caramelize as well.
  • Cook the pineapple over medium heat until it is golden brown and caramelized.
  • For the rum cream, be sure to use a good quality rum. A dark rum will give the cream a richer flavor.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff peaks form.
  • Fold the rum into the whipped cream until just combined.

Conclusion:

This gingerbread cake with caramelized pineapple and rum cream is a delicious and festive dessert perfect for the holidays. The cake is moist and flavorful, the pineapple is sweet and tangy, and the rum cream is rich and decadent. This cake is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
