Welcome to my Air fryer Pineapple Cake recipe.
What I love about a pineapple is how big they are and how PERFECT they are for when you want to stick to frugal family meals and want to stretch out your pineapple.
As you know this month is all about frugal family meals and cooking on a budget, but at the same time eating well.
In other words eating like a king on the budget of a servant!
When I get a pineapple it will usually cost me about 3 euros. It will be about 3 kilos so it is generally a euro a kilo.
It will then be chopped up into cubes (thanks Dominic for chopping up every pineapple I have ever bought!) and it will fill one of those super sized mixing bowls.
You know the sort. The ones that are so big you only ever us it when you are making a big batch of bread or doing loads of baking.
It will then last us about two weeks and we will use it in all kinds of dishes.
It will go in the slow cooker for some delicious sweet and sour chicken, for some Hawaiian chicken and pineapple, for pizza, for cheese on sticks, in salads, in stir fry meals and so on.
But the mistake many make is that they don’t use it enough in desserts. It is lovely in a pineapple cake, heated up with some cinnamon sprinkled on top or even better in a sundae.
In this recipe I am taking my classic fruit cake recipe and then adapting it for pineapple. So if you have some leftover pineapple then give it a go like this.
