The Sunshine Cake
What better way to start a blog than to post a sunshine cake on it ๐ Incase you are wondering what is a sunshine cake oh I call the pineapple upside down cake a sunshine cake ๐ it looks and feels like sunshine isnt it ๐
I love this cake and its quite a regular at home, looks so pretty and I didnt have cheries at home, if u put a cherry in the middle of the pineapple awww will take ur heart away ๐
So here is the first recipe posted on the blog… well technically I have impored all the recipes from Monika’s World too but this is truly the first recipe posted here… hope u enjoy it and guys go bookmark me
What I used
- Maida – 50gms and 100gms

- Eggs – 3
- Vanilla Essence – 1 tsp
- Salt a pinch
- Baking powder – 1 tsp
- Pineapple juice/milk – 50 ml
- Pineapple essence – 1/2 tsp
- Pineapple slices – 4-6
How I made it
- Mix the baking powder with 100gms maida
- Cream the butter and sugar together
- Add the 50 gm maida and milk powder to it and a cream a little more
- Add egg one by one and continue creaming till u add all the three eggs . Try and use the eggs on room temptrature else while creaming it can curdle and if it still curdles just add a little more maida from the rest 100gm
- Mix both the essences, Salt and the pineapple juice.
- Fold in the rest of the maida
- Place the pineapple slices on the bottom of the greased baking pan
- Pour the prepared batter on top
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170C for about 30 mins
- Wait for it to cool completely before you take it out
- Well what are u waiting for have a slice?

yeah 1st pal…. the 1st comment on the blog too… but my dear how did u figure this blog out? I didnt put it on FB yet and I dont think I see on twitter often? or u lurk around there haan?

Your cakes are so droolworthy Monika. Going to book mark you obviously. I need to mail you for some advice ๐
yeah pls do pepper the mail id is in the side bar errrr let me put it up ๐
Yummmmm…..I wish I could have that slice right now ! If I knew what I could use in place of egg, I would try making it too. Do u think ‘egg-replacer’ will work? I use it in muffins.
yeah I think an egg replacer would work.. also something that I read at a blog “For each egg to be replaced – use 1 tbsp flaxseed powder whisked into 3 tbsp of very hot water.” it works well
Yum! I love pineapple upside down cakes! And I just realized that I have not made it since ages! Should make it one of these days.
are they the loviliest
Wow!
Do you do eggless cakes/desserts?
yes i do but u know not every cake/dessert is possible without egg
Absolutely Ddvine, Mon! I’m surely going to try this one ๐
Droooooool!

But a ques….what if am baking this in a m/w? Wt will be the time and temp in convection mode?
the temp and time should be around the same in convection mode.. when I bake in convection mode in m/w I find the cake to be a bit dry though, cakes work for u in convection?
