Ingredients听

  • 50g desiccated coconut
  • 200g plain flour
  • 陆 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 115g unsalted butter, softened
  • 150g golden caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Caramelised Pineapple 听

  • 1 pineapple, peeled, halved, cored & cut into 2cm slices (about 600g chopped weight)
  • 200g light brown, muscovado sugar
  • 75g unsalted butter, cubed & chilled

Method 听

Preheat the oven to 180掳C.

Put the pineapple & muscovado sugar in a frying pan over a low medium heat. Melt the sugar, then simmer for 5-6 minutes, turning the pineapple to coat. Take out the pineapple with a slotted spoon & put in a sieve set over a jug. Simmer the syrup in the pan for 5 minutes, then whisk in 75g butter & simmer for 2 minutes more until it鈥檚 a deep amber caramel. Tip into a 20cm x 20cm square (or 23cm round) fixed-based cake tin, cool.

Toast the coconut in a dry frying pan for 3-4 minutes until just golden; cool. Mix in a bowl with the flour, salt & baking powder. In another bowl, use electric beaters to cream the butter & caster sugar until fluffy 3-4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla, cream & any juices from the pineapple.

Fold in the dry ingredients.

Arrange the pineapple in the cake tin, cover with the cake mix. Bake for 45 minutes until golden. Run a knife around the cake when it comes out of the oven, then cool for 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a plate & serve warm with cream if liked.
