Pineapple Cake recipe


I have been trying to get the recipe for pineapple cake..
this version is eggless.. I am using a product called ener-G egg replacer.

I had found a basic yellow cake recipe that worked for me.. and am making modifications to it, to get pineapple flavors in as well as using egg replacements..


So here is the cake recipe... This will make one 9 inch / 2 6-inches..


2-cups plus 1 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising) (Swan's cake flour)

4-table spoons water
1-cup diced canned pineapple along with the canned juice.
1 stick (1/2- cup) unsalted butter, softened
1-cup sugar
1-teaspoons vanilla extract
1-cup buttermilk

DIRECTIONS :

Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare cake pan
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
In another bowl, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl
Beat in egg replacement ( mix the egg replace with the water )

Stir flour mixture till combined.  
Pour batter into a well greased and floured pan.. line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper. 
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
