I’m back! Lacked  inspiration these last couple of weeks, cooked simple stuff or things that were not worth blogging, but the cake today made me sing again. I found the recipe last night on Good Food’s website, looking for something to bake for the boys at work, for the lovely dinner they made for Moka, Florek and me on Saturday.  I’m making one for them tomorrow morning, this one will not last till sunset, I think!

Having upwarmed the oven to mark 4, I creamed 50 g of soft butter with same amount of brown sugar, spread it all over the bottom and a bit of sides of the round tin, then arranged the tinned pineapples and cherries on the bottom. For the rest of the cake I used 100 g of soft butter, same amount sugar and self raising flour, a tsp of baking powder, 2 eggs, some vanilla paste, plus extras. One of the reviews said that the cake was a bit too sweet, so I added some lemon zest and 2 good tbsp of crushed pineapple, which I got by mistake, luckily! All this nicely whipped together went on top of the pineapples and baked for 35 minutes.

It came out of the tin no problem, I tasted it 10 minutes afterwards, it’s moist and excellent. Will be made again.
