Sponge Cake with Pineapple – Quick and Easy Recipe
Instructions
First, prepare the simplest liquid sponge batter. Soften the butter beforehand in the oven or microwave. Pour the egg whites and yolks into separate bowls and whip them with a mixer one after the other. Make sure the bowl for the egg whites is dry and clean, so they whip up better.
To the whipped yolks, add the condensed milk and melted butter, and combine using a regular mixer.
Sift the flour and mix it with a teaspoon of baking powder or ordinary baking soda.
Gradually pour the flour into the yolk mixture, constantly stirring the batter with the mixer.
Turn off the mixer and fold the whipped egg whites into the batter with a spoon, making gentle movements from the bottom upwards. Only this way will the egg whites make the sponge light and soft.
Preheat the oven to 195 degrees. Pour half of the batter onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper; the batter should be about 0.5 cm thick. To spread the batter over the paper, use a silicone spatula or a knife. Don't worry if the liquid sponge batter is not perfectly even – under the heat of the oven it will quickly spread out.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the sponge for about 9 minutes. You can check whether the sponge is ready with an ordinary toothpick – insert it into the batter and lift it out. If the batter is done, the toothpick will come out dry. Do the same with the second portion of batter.
While the batter is in the oven, you can start preparing the cream. To do this, whip the cream or sour cream with the sugar at the highest mixer speed until it becomes very thick. Cut the pineapples into thin triangles.
Cut the finished sponge into 6 layers of equal size. Generously pour pineapple juice over each layer. You can use the juice from the tin in which you bought the pineapples, or buy it separately in a carton.
Once the layers have soaked through and cooled completely, you can spread them with cream, placing the sliced pineapples on top of each layer, and then carefully stack them. The cake is ready!The finished pineapple cake can be decorated with ground nuts, candied fruits, or grated chocolate. This simple cake recipe can be changed and improved to your own taste. For example, instead of pineapple you can use any seasonal berries or fruits, and instead of a creamy frosting you can make a butter or custard one.
