Pineapple small cakes (petits gateaux à l'ananas)

Remember the pineapple cake that my father just loves ?

I didn't want to bake my usual huge cake. I decided to adapt it and try small ones, on the yogurt cake's base.
They are a good variation if you have to take them away, for example.

Here what you'll need :
  • 125 grams of yogurt, nature or pineapple flavored
  • 3 eggs
  • 125 grams of brown sugar (or a measure pot)
  • 275 grams of flour (or 3 measures pot)
  • 63 grams of neutral oil (or 1/2 measure pot)
  • 300 grams of canned pineapple
  • 1 tablespoon of rum
  • 1 tablespoon of liquid caramel (not obligatory)
  • 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon grams of baking powder


Your oven must be preheated at 180°C (350°F / Th6).

Step 1 : 
Stir sugar and yogurt. 


Step 2 : 
Then, beat the eggs in it. 


Step 3 : 
Stir one after one, flour, baking powder, oil, rum, vanilla and caramel.






Step 4 : 
Then, pour 1/4 cup of pineapple juice in the mixture.


Step 5 :
In a colander, pour pieces of pineapple, cut them if necessary, they don't have to be too big and add some flour. It will help the fruits to not fall in cake's bottom.


Step 6 :
Add them to the mixture, stir gently and fill the muffin mold.


In the oven for 25-30 minutes and that's it ! 
Bon appétit !

  2. I'm really starting to love petite cakes and individual portions for dessert. Easier, and more fun than a giant cake or pie. These pineapple cakes look wonderful!

    1. It take a little bit more time to make them but I do prefer small cakes, now. It's more practical to take away and always appreciated by people.
      Thank you for your comment, T.W :)

  3. Dear Axelle-These cupcakes look amazing! I have some pineapple in the refrigerator and this is what I will make with it. Would you believe on the other side of the ocean, I have the exact same electric mixer and color, the exact same colander and color, and the exact same measuring spoon set. What a global world we are now. Regards-Jamie
