a reader asked for a recipe for the cake that is served at the Dole Pineapple Plantation.....this was submitted by my brother as a recipe he found online........try it out and let me know what you think....I am sure that I will be trying it soon........
Hawaiian Pineapple Macadamia Nut Cake
¼ c butter, softened
¾ c light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, beaten
1 ¾ c flour
2 t baking powder
¼ t baking soda
½ t salt
1 c macadamia nuts, chopped
3/4 c fresh, shredded coconut
1 1/2 to 2 c shredded fresh Hawaiian pineapple with juice
Cream butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in eggs. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Set aside.
Stir nuts into butter mixture. Stir half the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, then add the pineapple and coconut, and stir well.
Add remaining flour mixture, and beat to a smooth consistency. Turn batter into a greased springform pan, bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for an hour. Test with toothpick.
Makes 12 servings
The cake baked perfectly in one hour, and my oven thermometer is correct at 350 degrees. Be sure you check your oven for accuracy.
You can adjust your fruit or nut quantities up or down by a 1/2 cup, with no problems. This is just the way we like it. This cake is not too sweet; just sweet enough. No need at all for frosting or icing. We believe that this can be easily made in a greased loaf pan too. My angel food pan worked fine. Please wait until completely cool to cut. We used three different type knives to get this not to crumble.
