 Tips:

  • In traditional pineapple cake they add brown sugar instead of jaggery , i have added jaggery to give a Indian touch .If you have brown sugar available in your pantry then you can use it.
  • You can even add glazed cherry in between the pineapple circles while arranging the pineapple circles in the baking tray (this is before baking) . This gives a pleasant eye appeal  to you dish .
