Notes
Hi Liza,
Thanks for the delish recipes you share. I noticed that there is no oil or butter in these Pineapple cake. Or it’s meant to be a cake without oil/butter?
Hope you can clarify this before I bake.
Thanks and keep posting us your yummy recipes.

Hi Lin,
I was also wondering about the absence of oil in this cake but after making it, the cake came out fine. The crushed pineapple plus juices was enough to keep the cake moist. The texture might not be the same as other cake with oil/butter but for me and my family, it was delicious, especially with the chopped walnuts and cream cheese frosting 🙂
