Ingredients
1 large pineapple
250g unsalted butter, softened
250g golden caster sugar
4 eggs, beaten
250g self-raising flour
200g can pineapple chunks in fruit juice
200g Asda Creamy Original Soft Cheese
100ml whipping cream
2tbsp icing sugar
1tsp vanilla extract
50g desiccated coconut
Method
1Preheat the oven to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1.
2To make the pineapple flowers, slice the top and bottom off the pineapple and cut off the rind. Using a small melon baller or a knife, cut out any dark eyes from the pineapple.
3Thinly slice the pineapple using a mandoline or sharp knife. Lay out on baking trays lined with baking paper.
4Bake for 30 mins until the tops have dried. Flip and cook for 30 mins. Take out of oven, allow to cool for 10 mins.
5Put the pineapple slices into a muffin tin to help curve the edges and allow to cool fully before using.
6To make the cake, increase the oven temperature to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
7In a large bowl, beat together the butter, caster sugar, eggs and flour until pale, fluffy and well combined.
8Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice, and stir through the batter. Spoon into the tin, smooth the top and bake in for 25-30 mins until risen, golden and a knife comes out cleanly when inserted in the centre.
9Remove from the oven and, using a wooden spoon handle, make random holes in the cake. Pour 100ml of the reserved pineapple juice evenly over the cake. Leave to cool fully.
10Whisk together the soft cheese, whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
11Remove the cake from the tin, discard the baking paper and spread over the icing. Top with a sprinkle of coconut and the pineapple flowers.
