Pineapple Rum Loaf Cake

The other day Murray said he wanted cake, and oddly I did not have any…none on the counter & none in the freezer…so it was time to make a cake!

And…he likes rum so I have adapted a cake recipe of my mom’s & have made a Pineapple Rum Loaf cake. I did not want a large bundt cake, too much sometimes for just the 2 of us so a loaf cake is just the right size. I also wanted this cake to be non-dairy…so that was an easy adaptation to make & I used a rum glaze from another recipe of my mom’s…

This recipe was super easy to pull together..the only thing you might now have in your cupboard is a can of crushed pineapple, but it is really easy to get!

The cake is ‘rustic’ not a light textured rum cake that you might be used to, but it is delicious so give it a try!

Here is the recipe

Ingredients 

For the cake

1/4 cup parve margarine …I use Becel Vegan margarine

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained ( save the juice from the can)

1/3 cup pineapple juice from the can of pineapple

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

For the glaze NOTE…. THIS MADE LOTS OF GLAZE & THE CAKE IS SWEET SO IF YOU WANT A LESS SWEET CAKE, MAKE HALF THE GLAZE…

1/2 cup icing sugar..if it is lumpy sift it into a bowl

4 tbsp of the reserved pineapple juice

4 tbsp rum

 

Method

Preheat oven to 350f

Grease a loaf pan…I use non-stick spray

*** drain the can of pineapple saving the liquid ***

  1. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the margarine & sugar until well combined, scrape down the sides of the bowl
  2. Add the egg & mix well
  3. Add the pineapple, mix to combine
  4. Add the pineapple juice & mix….
  5. Add the flour & baking soda….mix well & make sure all of the ingredients are well combined
  6. Put the batter into the prepared loaf pan
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until a cake tester comes out dry
  8. Mix the glaze ingredients together & have it ready for when the cake comes out of the oven
  9. While the cake is hot, poke holes in the top & put the glaze over the top. NOTE:   USE LESS GLAZE FOR A LESS SWEET CAKE….i found it a bit sweet for me so I would use less glaze the next time
  10. Let the cake cool before removing from the baking dish

Enjoy!

Many people ask me "how did you do that?" "will you show me how?' So I decided to make a blog about what I cook and bake. I am in no way a professional cook, but I love to feed people and try new things as well as making the "old foods" My friends are wonderful cooks, each with their own 'specialty' and i will be having guest cooks here, showcasing their favourite things to cook as well!! I hope you enjoy this blog and maybe decide to make some of these foods yourself! I am always available to answer any questions you might have about anything you see here. Some of my recipes are unique to me but most are not. They are all recipes I have found in a variety of ways, some are old family recipes that date back decades and some are new ones!
