Named after the famous Aussie sunsmart campaign of the same name (?why), this was touted as "a cake even very young children can proudly say I made it all by myself!". Hmmmm...
Ingredients:
- 440g (15.5oz) can crushed pineapple
- 150g (5oz) frozen or fresh berries
- butter cake, packet mix
Method:
In a 20cm x 30cm tin, pour in the entire can of crushed pineapple, juice and all. I'm assuming this is the slop. Then slip, or possibly slap all the berries over the top in a layer. Finally, make the packet cake according to the directions on the box, and you should [insert remaining verb here] the cake mix over the pineapple and berry layer. Then, bake according to the cake directions. Mine said 45 minutes at 180C.
I'm going to just come right out and say that this was a tremendous success as far as Biscuit was concerned.
First, we made the butter cake. It needed 4 EGGS! Is that normal? Who knows!!
It's never a good idea to lick raw cake batter containing eggs, and even less of a good idea to do so in a developing country where you're even more at risk of salmonella-ey type things. But try telling that to a 16 month old!
After unintentionally trying to dismount the chair backwards and to the right, Biscuit was restabilised and set about pouring the pineapple into the bottom of the tin*.
We smoothed it all out as a layer after this...
We couldn't be bothered with the berries. Ours is just a slop/slap cake.
Terrifying selfie.... Also, please note cake mix on my head, not large festering boil...
Uh oh!!! Only now do I realise that because we used a silicon pan rather than metal, it did not get hot enough to caramelise the pineapple. Instead we have very hot pineapple on top of a cake.
Still tastes good though!
We also gave some to our haus meri and to our security guard. The security guard was so impressed he now helps us in and out of the car and addresses me as "my sister". Woah, someone likes cake!
5 stars.
