About

One of the most stunning culinary gems is pineapple, encased in a criss-cross yellow-green coating, hatted with leaves that resemble a fountain. If you’re looking for a fuss-free recipe designed to impress, this one is it: a single layer, no icing, no exotic ingredients (besides the pineapple). It is a basic vanilla cake with a caramelized layer of fruit. If fresh pineapple is unavailable, canned pineapple works just fine, as do strawberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, and apples.<
