Connie, if you require the pineapple glaze to apply on top of this cake post back and I will post it for you.

Connie, I am going to post my knowledge on these type of cakes and suggestions to you.

In doing these type of cakes and I must tell this is not a cake. It is a "CUSTARD". If you have a food processor you can make the sugar finer by giving it a 1 minute twirl in the processor. The sugar MUST melt in the concoction or otherwise if it doesn't you will end-up tasting the sugar granules in your mouth. Now then Connie, You cannot have a excellent custard if you beat air into it, hence, you must beat this concoction at the slowest speed possible.

Connie if you want a nice moist custard-cake reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup and replace it with 1/4 cup of honey. You can add the honey in after the last egg. Also Connie If you like you can also add 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract if you have some in your pantry. Good Luck and have a nice day my friend.
