After two recipes with pineapples, I guess I am still not done with pineapples yet. There are lots more of them in the stores and one or two more recipes would not hurt. They are such juicy and versatile fruits to work with. Today’s Pineapple Pound Cake was initially made with the pineapple pulp from another recipe. The flavor was really good and the cake turned out to be very moist and tender. Because of that I decided to make another loaf.

Fresh or Canned Pineapple

For this particular pound cake, I used convenient and easily available crushed pineapple in a can instead of fresh pineapple. As such this cake can be made any time of the year. The choice is yours – fresh or canned pineapple. Either one would work.

Most pineapple cakes made with crushed pineapple tend to fall apart because of the chunks of pineapple in them. This one holds together better because of the pineapple puree. Blending the pineapple also gives it a finer and smoother texture.

If you plan to use fresh pineapple, cut the flesh into chunks and blend till smooth. Strain the juice with a fine sieve and use the pulp. You may need up to two pineapples to get one cup of strained pineapple puree.

    What happens if I don’t happen to have pineapples? Can I use another fruit? How about just leaving the pineapples out?

      Yes, you can use another fruit but the amount of milk may have to be adjusted, depending on how juicy the fruit is. Do check out my Raspberry Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake for an alternative. I will post a plain vanilla pound cake soon. 🙂

    This recipe is great. Could you possibly use the equal amount of pineapple juice instead of the milk? This seems like it would have more of the flavor of pineapple.

      Glad you enjoyed the recipe. Yes, you can try using pineapple juice instead of milk although I am not sure if it will give you more pineapple flavor. Perhaps a little but not very much more. 🙂

    I was looking for a cake recipe using fresh pineapple and found this. I do love American cake recipes – they are usually so simple and quick! The cake is in the oven right this minute and will come to work with me tomorrow (might cover it with an icing made with pineapple purée and icing sugar) to be enjoyed by my colleagues and I.
    Thank you for the recipe.

    I used the same amounts and the eggs were small and I increased one and also replaced the oil with coconut oil, but unfortunately? the mix became liquid and did not blow the cake and failed to rise

      There is probably too much liquid in your batter with the extra egg and coconut oil.

    This came out really well. I added a splash of rum, and topped with a bit of chocolate icing with toasted macadamia nuts to enhance the pineapple flavor.
