Indulgent pineapple almond cake drizzled with caramel.
Ingredients:
  • 375.00 gm self-raising flour, sifted
  • 500.00 ml mixed dried fruit
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar
  • 230.00 gm vegetable oil
  • 400g crushed pineapple in syrup or natural juice, drained
  • 125.00 gm water
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 150g slivered almonds
  • 3 eggs
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan). Grease and line the base of a 22cm springform pan with non-stick baking paper for easy removal later.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, mixed fruit, and sugar. Whisk together oil and eggs. Add to dry ingredients along with pineapple, gently folding until combined. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and bake for 75-80 mins until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack.
  • For the Topping: In a small saucepan, gently blend water and sugar until sugar dissolves over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Increase heat to high and let it boil undisturbed for 5-8 minutes until it turns a pale golden caramel. Sprinkle almonds on top of the cake and pour the caramel over the almonds, letting it cascade down the sides of the cake.
