Pineapple cake

Amazing cake! Recipe from my mom 🥰

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Start with the cream, as it will take some time to cool down.

Step 2

Take 100ml of milk, add two tbsp of sugar, pudding mix and flour, stir until all combined and no lumps remain. Whisk the egg yolks separately.

Step 3

Cook the rest of the milk with remaining sugar on med-high heat until it boils. Add dissolved pudding mixture and pour in the eggs, stir until combined. Cook for a couple of more minutes, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens and eggs are cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the stove, add butter and stir the cream to mix in the butter. Set aside to cool down.

Step 5

(optional) When the cream has cooled down, add whipping cream and mix everything with mixer on high speed.

Step 6

Assemble the cake: start with a layer of lady finger biscuits soaked in pineapple juice (from the can), top with pineapple rings (whole, or cut into chunks) and spread a layer of cream. Repeat the circle(s) (depending on your bowl size and shape) until you use up all ingredients.

Step 7

Finish the cake with a layer of whipped cream and bits of pineapple if desired.

Step 8

When I don't have a plan for egg whites afterwards, I'd use just 5 egg yolks and 4 whole eggs for the cream. Don't notice the difference. 🤷‍♀️
