Eggless Pineapple Cake is a soft , delicious pineapple flavored cake frosted with fresh cream and filled with pineapple pieces and cream .The cake is a classic cake and looks very attractive with cherries .
The pineapple cake originated in Taiwan and was actually made with eggs to get a super soft sponge . It was traditional to gift these cakes at engagement ceremonies . This is something new that I learnt about this cake .
I am a chocolate person when it comes to cakes , but when someone prefers a pineapple cake over chocolate , you have to be sensible enough to make it ! And specially if he’s your hubby ! Yes , this cake was made for hubby’s birthday and trust me he was shocked to see a pineapple cake instead of the routine Chocolate Truffle . The cake had turned out very moist and the flavours were very pleasing . I should not be boasting , but seriously hubby loved the cake .
The pineapple cake turned out very delicious , super soft and moist, though I was not very happy with my frosting skills, but for sure everyone loved the cake.. I remember as a kid most of the times dad would get pineapple and strawberry pastries . I would quickly polish off the toppings and my brothers gave me a look ! This cake had all the toppings intact till it came in front of hubby . The childhood memories made me smile , strange how we change as we grow .

I really wouldn’t mind a big slice of that cake! I am so tempted…
Omg what a gorgeous cake, somehow am scared to work with whipped cream for decorating the cakes, looks absolutely fabulous and how awesome the cake looks.
This is one of my favorite and I won’t mind eating a huge slice of it.You made it so perfect.
Such a beautiful and flavourful cake for a special occasion. I love pineapple in cakes and I would love to taste a slice of that.
Cake looks fabulous 🙂 it’s a treat to bake / cook a family favourite n especially on this bday !
Decoration looks so good! Using puree directly into the cake is a super way to infuse the flavor. I love it.
That looks like one lovely pineapple based bake. I love pineapple and would have loved to grab one slice if I was around. :))
Vaishali I am a chocolate cake person too. Though your pineapple cake looks sinful making me want to try it. So wonderful you pleased everybody.
What a pretty cake!! So perfect for special occasions.
One of the classic Indian bakery treats. Love pineapple cake and your eggless version looks absolutely delicious.
A very Belated birthday wishes to your husband.
I think pineapple gives bakes an awesome flavor. Having the juice in the cake, frosting and slices on top is a triple treat.
such a pretty cake – and must taste as delicious as it looks
Even I am a chocolate person and my husband is like no….But this cake looks so delicious and that icing looks just yum.
that is one gorgeous cake vaishali. I made a orange pineapple cake for the last day of the bake-a-thon, but i couldnt post it on time. Love pretty topping!!!
Pineapple cake was the one that I used to eat as a child and never had a taste for chocolate cake, but now it’s been ages since I made pineapple cake. Now I’m getting tempted to eat a slice of this cake with those big pineapple chunks…Mmmm….loving it.
Just realised that I have not frosted a cake in ages. This frosting is too inviting. Fabulous bake vaish
