A new post after a while π a special cake I made for my son's birthday! its a Pineapple Chiffon Cake with vanilla frosting!
Well,I am not a baker but I try! π you know saying that helps a lot! Specially when you bake very less quantity that too occasionally. But I love to bake bread/pizza on a regular basis π
At least what I bake is liked at my home,hopefully you all will like my recipes!
I wanted to make a cake with frosting for a long time. I do make cheesecake's as that is what my family loves!
I had shared recipe of Mango Cheesecake. You can check that recipe too.
My son has finally turned "2"!
I have literally counted each day till today! and now the clock is again reset to count further π
Practically he is not a food lover so does my daughter! But I thought of making a sky blue frosting with a soft cake for his birthday. Now what flavor was another question! So finally I thought lets make a pineapple oneπ
I am sharing here a recipe of a simple and soft Pineapple chiffon cake! Well I had no idea what chiffon cake meant! But then I went to my daughters school function and there some parent had got a nice chiffon cake.So I did a research on how the chiffon cakes are made and came up with a simple yet yumm cake!
I did a basic vanilla frosting as I did not have much time on hand to make some fancy frosting.May be my next bake will have a fancy frosting!
Pardon my pictures this time,as there was so much chaos everywhere and tiny fingers were licking the frosting on one side while I was clicking so I just packed π
Ok just now I realised I have another cake recipe that too pineapple one! it's Britannia Copycat Pineapple Cake !
Do give this a try and share your feedback!

Tips:

- I have simply whipped some heavy whipping cream with vanilla and sugar to get the frosting.
- Added blue frosting color to it.
