FAQ
Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?
Yes, but make sure to drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
Why cream cheese in the batter?
It adds richness and a tender, velvety texture that keeps the cake moist for days.
How do I know when it’s done baking?
The cake should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
