Pineapple Coffee Cake
Pineapple Coffee Cake Recipe
Eatinwell.com
So, I broke down and bought some whole wheat pastry flour. Now I have a huge bag of it in the cabinet. Guess I need to look for more recipes that have this as an ingredient.
I had these three cans of pineapple chunks in the cupboard for EVAH! They were driving me crazy and I tried to find something to make with it. I found this recipe. I took the chunks and put them in the mini cuisinart to chop them finer for the cake. It worked. I did drain the pineapple before putting it in the cake.
This was really good. It had a cornbread type texture to it, but was really good. It’s not too sweet and the pineapple makes it really moist. I will probably make this again.
