Pineapple, Berries And Coconut Cake

This pineapple, berries and coconut cake is one of those really yummy homemade full of flavour cakes that can be made super easily and with no exaggeration, in a jiffy. This is a recipe that I created a while back and it has been a hit since with my family and friends.

It’s nutty, it’s crispy on the outside with a beautifully textured inside. A few little fruit lumps that offer a nice burst of fresh tanginess.

When these reach your taste buds, it is a blast of trully happy moments indeed!

Every time we have this all you can hear is a murmur and loads of MMMMMM's.

I love cakes that contain fresh fruits and I am sure most people do and pineapple is right at the top of the list. Pineapple cakes are one of the best. It is an easy and solemn declaration that, well, for my taste anyway, combined with the coconut, it is fab! ..... MMMMM again.

On this note, this recipe is a must, must try and make as soon as possible.

Eaten with some creme fraiche, ice cream or plain yoghurt - pure blissfulness! I promise!

Here is this superb cake’s recipe, enjoy both making it and then, eating. Le’s get baking!

Notes

If you are using frozen forest fruits or berries, make sure they are well-drained and contain no water or ice. If they do, depending on how much, you might have to reduce the amount of the pineapple juice or add none at all.

This cake can very well be a gluten-free treat by replacing the flour and the soda bicarbonate with gluten-free ones.
