I’ve baked this cake umteen times now and each time it’s a big hit! Traditionally you see the pineapple rings cut into half and placed in the bottom of the baking tray. But I used the cubes instead and cut them into halves and placed them like this in the tray, pictured below. It looks really pretty and I don’t use the maraschino cherries only because I don’t like them… ha ha.
Pineapple cubes neatly arranged bottom of the tray .
