I had 15 minutes more to go for the doorbell bell to ring, friends would now arrive any moment, but I was still running around with the tart, the slice & the camera… a few quick shots before I greet my friends; for what is a food post without a photo?
As far back as I remember this was the first layer cake I had ever made. I used to hear rave reviews about my sister in law making this wonderful pineapple sponge cake from my husband.. so I had her write down the recipe for me. For every single year for atleast 8 years I would make this for my husband’s birthday. I still follow her handwritten recipe, though it has gone through some minor adaptations of my own over the years. The cake is a fat less sponge cake layered with cream & pineapple.
