PINEAPPLE CHIFFON CAKE
Make sure to drain the pineapple very well, I drain in a small-holed strainer and push the crushed pineapple down in the strainer with a large spoon over a small bowl, to make sure it is well drained, If desired add in 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the egg yolk/oil batter, and a few drops of yellow food coloring may be added to the whipped cream just for a little color

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, drain it well and pat it dry.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the cake to rise properly.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent lumps.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help to give the cake a light and fluffy texture.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the cake will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
- To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator and then frost it.
