    Tis the season to satisfy your sweet cravings – time for cakes and sweet treats like –  eggless cupcakes, eggless red velvet cupcakes, butterscotch cupcakes or eggless crumble cake. After trying my hands on pineapple upside down cake, I have been wanting to make a eggless pineapple pastry for quite some time. So here I am sharing my delicious recipe with you today! Pineapple pastries are easy to make and tastes divine. 

    RECIPE DETAIL – Ingredient list is divided in 3 parts- dry ingredients, wet ingredients 1 and 2. After sifting dry ingredients, set it aside. Proceed with the next step- mixing of wet ingredients 2. Finally prepare wet ingredients 1 and combine all of them together.

    For this recipe, I have baked two cake sheets. Cake sheets are thinner than standard cakes, but if you prefer a thick sheet than bake the same recipe in a square/loaf cake pan. Instead of tofu unsweetened applesauce can be used.

    Before we begin frosting, make sure the cake has cooled down completely. Feel free to chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This pastry/cake needs a lot of frosting, so follow this recipe to your very own homemade whipped cream – you can also use store bought whipped cream. Unlike the buttercream topping, whipped cream topping is extremely light and fluffy – the frosting process may take time.

    Poke holes in cake sheets and pour pineapple juice over it – do not pour too much. Layer the cake sheet with cream – pineapple mixture and place the other sheet on top. Finish the cake/pastry with lots of cream-pineapple mixture. Decorate as you please, top with pineapple chunks, cherries and edible cake decorations. 

    P.S. THIS RECIPE MAKES 1 SHEET CAKE,IF YOU PLAN TO MAKE 2 SHEET CAKES LIKE ME DOUBLE THE RECIPE.

    Cut into slices and enjoy a slice of sweet and yummy pineapple pastry!! Incredibly delicious and sinfully divine!!

    DRY INGREDIENTS

    WET INGREDIENTS - 1

    • 1/2 cup Butter
    • 1/2 cup Milk
    • 1 cup Superfine Sugar
    • 2 teaspoon Pineapple essence

    WET INGREDIENTS - 2

    • 1/2 cup Silken Tofu (replace with unsweetened applesauce)
    • 1/2 cup Curd
    • 2 tablespoon Vinegar

    ICING

    • 2 cups Homemade Whipped cream
    • 15-20 pieces of Pineapple chunks
    • 1/2 cup Crushed Pineapple
    • 10 -12 pieces of Cherries to decorate
    • 1/2 cup Canned or fresh pineapple Juice (to pour of the cake sheets)

    Instructions

    BAKING CAKE SHEETS

    • Assemble dry ingredients.
    • Sift all the dry ingredients together and set it aside.
    • Assemble wet ingredients. Drain the liquid from the canned fruits and set them aside. Save the liquid of pineapple chunks - use that syrup to moisten the cake.
    • Tofu and curd.
    • Crumble tofu and combine it with curd.
    • Mix them together until well blended. Set it aside.
    • Add butter and sugar to a bowl. Adjust sugar according to taste. I have added 3/4 cup of sugar to my batter because the overall recipe uses extra sugar in the form of pineapple syrup and icing.
    • Cream them together. Preheat oven @350 degree F.
    • Mix in pineapple essence, vinegar and milk.
    • Add sifted dry ingredients..
    • Pour in tofu and curd mixture.

    ASSEMBLING PASTRY

    • Generously apply cream mixed with pineapple chunks over the sheet.

      Hi Ruchi, I want to bake this cake into a smaller one probably 6 or 8 inches… how can I halve the recipe? And can I use 5is cake without any cream; say like a tea cake?

      Hi Ruchi where did you add the vinegar? It’s there in the ingredients list but not in the method. By the way your recipes are amazing.

      Hi Ruchi…your site is a best place to stop by for eggless cake recipes and I’ve tried almost everything from your site…today I tried this pineapple pastry and I should say that the taste was really good…but the cake wasn’t as soft as I expected..I used tofu (crumbled it), and while mixing it with curd I couldn’t find it completely dissolved in curd (there were small balls of tofu here and there)…the second thing is I soaked the cake with pineapple juice and kept in the refrigerator(wrapped it) through the night and applied cream in the morning…
      I’m not sure what made the cake quite hard…

        Thanks for your kind words Rekha!
        Sorry to hear that this recipe did not turn out the way you had imagined. Before I jump to conclusion, please provide me with some info –
        1. Did the cake turn our soft and moist before you soaked it in juice?
        2. Which tofu did you use? From small balls do you mean it was grainy in texture.
        3. Did you use fresh baking soda and baking powder?
        4. For how long did you bake the cake and at what temperature?
        5. If the batter was beaten too quickly then less air is incorporated in batter resulting in dense cakes.

          Hi Ruchi….thank you so much for your reply and I’m glad to see it….answers to your question..
          1. Did the cake turn our soft and moist before you soaked it in juice?( no it was hard before soaking in juice)
          2. Which tofu did you use? From small balls do you mean it was grainy in texture.( I used simple truth organic(firm Tofu),yes it’s the grains.just saw your description and you have mentioned silken tofu but I have used the firm one🙁)
          3. Did you use fresh baking soda and baking powder?( yes it’s a fresh one)
          4. For how long did you bake the cake and at what temperature?( both as you specified…in fact I took it out couple of minutes before the specified time)
          5. If the batter was beaten too quickly then less air is incorporated in batter resulting in dense cakes.(no,I tuk quite a long time to beat the batter)

        • Ruchi says

          Rekha, from what you have mentioned everything looks good except for tofu.
          Silken tofu creates a creamy consistency when blended with curd and that is perfect for a cake. On the other hand, firm tofu is very dense and has a high protein content. That’s why it is excellent for curries and saute dishes. Can be grilled or baked to.
          Hope you give this recipe a try again with a more successful outcome next time. Thanks!

        Thanks for your kind words Noopur. Glad to hear that you are liking my recipes.
        1. I have not cut the cake in two parts. I have baked two sheets of cake for this recipe. As stated in the recipe double the ingredients and bake 2 sheets.
        2. Cake is placed on a wire rack to cool and that has formed lines on the cake.

        Noopur when in doubt, start small. Bake one sheet of cake, cut in half, and proceed with frosting. 🙂

      Hello RK,

      I tried this yesterday and turned out really great. Followed the recipe step by step and cake sheets were very soft. Before piling my sheets I drenched them in pneapple juice and essence and they became very moist. Excellent recipe for an eggless pastry. Loving it. My family thanks you!!

        My pleasure Deeksha. Tofu has a creamy texture and it makes a cake moist (not fluffy). I have used it as an egg replacement in my recipe.
