Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the cake a more intense flavor and texture than canned pineapple.
  • Boil the fruit mixture: Boiling the fruit mixture helps to thicken it and create a more concentrated flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a loaf pan: A loaf pan is the best shape for this cake because it allows the heat to circulate evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
