Description
Pineapples always remind me of one thing that I learnt as a kid day dreaming during a boring class. The fruit itself is so interesting that I made sure to be like it to wear a crown, stand tall ( though I am short ) and be sweet inside meaning with in myself. My crazy little mind did wonder a lot but this one though stuck to me as I felt it to be a bit sense able. Me and my weird stories.. Coming to the cake. I made this cake when I had hubby dear’s cousin sister visit us. The cake was moist and tasted more like a pudding than a cake as the caramelize sugar that is let to drip down the cooked cake finally moisten’s the cake that just melts in your mouth. A very indulging novel tea time treat cake that’s worth every calorie which is rich in flavors and full of crunch, sweetness and a slight tang. The surprise element being there’s no artificial coloring or flavor’s added to the cake resulting in great results. This easily prepared well in advance cake makes for an impressive sweet finale. This flavorful power house dessert will instantly elevate almost any table from good to umm.. So get ready to turn your table’s from plain blah good to ummm… Ummmm.. Ummm…
