Ingredients:
- eggs - 5 (250g)
- powdered sugar - 125 g
- flour - 125g ( = half the weight of the eggs i.e. 125g )
- cornflour - 2 tbsp (makes the cake texture lighter)
- baking powder - 1tsp
- salt - 1 pinch
- vanilla essence/extract - 1 tsp
- pineapple essence/extract - 1 tsp
- filling/topping
- cream - 400ml ( whipping/35% fat)
- icing sugar - 3-4 tbsp
- pineapple essence/extract - 1 tsp
Directions:
- For the sponge
- Preheat oven to 190deg C , reduce to 180deg C after 10 mins of putting the cake in.
- Grease and line a 9 ring tin; A springform cake tin is always better.
- Sift the flour + baking powder + salt + cornflour 3 times.
- Beat the eggs and sugar well with beater till very thick ribbon falls and holds in place for at least 5 seconds (beat for approx 10mins)
- Add vanilla essence + pineapple essence and beat for 1 min.
- Gently fold in the sifted flour; mix lightly so that air doesnt escape.
- Turn gently into tin and bake for 30-35mins till done.
- Once done, remove from tin after 5 mins and leave on rack to cool completely. Cut horizontally into 3 layers.
- Filling:
- Chop the pineapple bits into tiny pieces,and reserve some bigger bits for the topping.
- Whip 400ml whipping cream with 4tbs pwdrd sugar +1 tsp pineapple essence until thick and holds peaks.
- Reserve 1/2 for icing the top.
- Take about 1/4 a cup of cream(approx 4-5 tbsp), and colour it with yellow food colour.
- In the remainder of the cream ,fold in the chopped pineapple bits.
- Place the bottom most layer of the sponge on your serving platter, spread 1/2 of the whipped cream and bits over it.
- Place the middle layer over this, and repeat with the rest of the fruit cream.
- Topping:
- Spread the remaining pineapple cream over the top and sides of the cake.
- Pipe a decoration with the coloured yellow cream from a zipbag with the corner snipped. I have marbled the cake. Use silver dragees if you like.
- Pipe a border with the coloured cream.
- Chill well before serving.
- Note: If you think the sponge hasn't come out very soft, you can sprinkle the first 2 layers with 1/4 cup of a mixture of the pineapple syrup and juice of 1/2 a lemon (add a little sugar if you think it isn't sweet enough). Make sure you remember to sprinkle the layer only after placing it in position on the serving platter
