Ingredients

Method

  • 160g / 5½oz Self Raising flour
  • 160g / 5½oz Sunflower oil
  • 100g / 3½oz Caster sugar
  • 3 Large Eggs (room temp)
  • 6mls / 1tsp Vanilla extract
  • 4g / 1tsp Baking powder
  • 2g / ¼tsp Salt
  • 2 / 425g / 15oz Cans of Pineapple Chunks
  • The Pineapple Juice from the cans
  • Note: If you are using plain or all-purpose flour, you will need to an extra 2tsp of baking powder to the recipe, making a total of 3tsp.
  • For this recipe you’ll need a 23 x 5cm / 9 x 2in round baking dish or cake tin.
  • Drain the juice from the cans of pineapple chunks, keep the juice for later in the recipe.
  • Get the drained chunks into the baking dish and spread them out.
  • At this point, preheat your oven to 170°C / 340°F / Gas mark 3.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and oil to a large bowl, electric or hand whisk them together, until light and airy.
  • Sift in the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Using your spatula gently fold this all together until you have a smooth cake batter.
  • Using a spatula once more, scrape the cake batter into the centre of your baking dish with the pineapple chunks in.
  • The batter should find its own level, give the dish a few taps on the bench, to release any large air bubbles.
  • Place the dish/tin into the preheated oven, set your timer for 35 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, carefully, check the cake with a cocktail stick, if it comes out clean, it’s done, if there are signs of batter on the stick, bake for a further 5 minutes, and check again.
  • Once done, remove the tin/dish from the oven and onto a wire rack.
  • Before serving it, hot or cold, prick a few holes in the pudding with a cocktail stick, then spoon approximately 100mls of the pineapple juice from the cans onto the sponge and let it soak in.
  • This delicious pudding can be served hot or cold, on its own, or with cream, ice cream, or hot or cold vanilla custard.
  • Enjoy.
