Pineapple Berries and Coconut Cake
Pineapple Berries and Coconut Cake
"This pineapple, berries & coconut cake is one of those really yummy homemade full of flavour cakes that can be made in no time. This is a recipe that I created a while back and it has been a hit since in my family. It’s nutty, it’s crispy on the outside and a beautifully textured on the inside with the little fruit lumps that, when they reach your taste buds, it is a blast of happy moments!"
NotesIf you are using frozen forest fruits or berries, make sure they are well drained and contain no water or ice. If they do, depending on how much, you might have to reduce the amount of the pineapple juice.
This cake can very well be a gluten free one by replacing the flour with a gluten free one.
