what is the best way to make a pineapple cake?

Answer 1

just order it from a bakery...

Answer 2

If you are talking about an upside down pineapple cake, make a standard white cake batter, put a bit of pineapple extract in it, and take a can of pineapple slices) drained, put them on the bottom of the pan on top of a layer of waxed paper, then pour that cake batter over it. Level it out.
Bake @350 until it's baked. Test it with a knife stuck into the cake, it should come out clean if it's cooked.

Turn the cake OUT of the pan, upside down, take off the waxed paper, and you'll have the pineapple slices visible on top. Put some cherries in the middle of the pineapple slices, and serve preferably warm with whipped cream.

This pineapple chiffon cake is made with pineapple juice and egg yolks and whites, along with a little vegetable oil and other ingredients.
INGREDIENTS:
2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
5 egg yolks, slightly beaten
3/4 cup pineapple juice, unsweetened
8 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
PREPARATION:
Into a mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients.
With a spoon make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Add the oil, egg yolks, and pineapple juice. Beat with an electric mixer until very smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Beat to very stiff peaks. Pour the first batter in a thin stream into the egg whites, gently folding in just until blended.

Pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan; bake at 325° for 55 minutes. Increase temperature to 350° and bake for 10 minutes longer. Invert pan and cool completely.

Answer 4

Lay your pinapple rings or chunks in a single layer across the bottom of a 13X9 cake pan. Cover lightly with brown sugar. Mix your cake mix like normal but use the pineapple juice in place of the water. Pour batter directly on top to pineapple in the pan. Pour just a little more of the juice on the top of the batter, maybe a 1/4 cup. Then bake like normal until sides just starting to pull away from pan.
