Today's recipe is a simple and elegant Pineapple cake which I adapted from my Eggless Vanilla Sponge Cake recipe. I made this cake for my husband's birthday.. He prefers single layer cake with frosting.... We loved this cake with refreshing pineapple flavor and aroma.. I frosted the cake with Fresh cream frosting. Another try I made was writing with the sugar syrup... I wrote "Happy B’day" with Sugar syrup and kept it on top of the cake.. It was so crunchy and delicious. This recipe will make 1 13x9 cake or 2 9" round cakes or 2 8" round cakes

In a mixing bowl, beat together butter, sugar and condensed milk until it forms an uniform mixture. Add juice, essence, pineapple chunks and tutti frutti. Set aside
