Tips For The Preparation
You can also distribute the fruit under the curd mixture before baking and bake it for the entire time. This makes the pineapple sunshine cake even juicier inside. The baking pan can also be lined with baking paper. As a result, everything stays compactly together and the fluid coating does not penetrate through the mould.
General Information Of The Recipe
If you don’t like pineapples, you can replace them with cherries or apples. Also, different kinds of berries suit perfectly. As an alternative to taste, add a shot of eqq liqueur to the curd mixture. This will give it another flavour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is fresh pineapple or from a can better?
The canned pineapple is best because it’s sweeter.
What to do if my shortcrust dough won’t roll out?
Do not leave it in the refrigerator for too long. No longer than 15 to 30 minutes.
What can I do if the curd mass is not firm after baking?
It’s best to leave the cake in the switched-off oven overnight. The next morning it can be cut wonderfully.
