    Hi Manjula, while making frosting for pineapple cake Can we add pineapple essence so that it gives more pineapple flavor? If yes in how much quantity should it be used?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Asmita, Yes you can

    Hello,

    This cake came out super good. I don’t use eggs and this recipe was so so so perfect! It rose well int he pan and tasted amazing. I used fresh whipped cream as frosting and decorated with Maraschino cherries and cut pineapple. Unbelievably good recipe. Thank you so much.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Rupa, thank you it makes me happy to hear that.

    Hello- Can you please give me an alternative for condense milk please. I would like to try it.

    1. Stacy B

      You can use Coco Lopez, which is sweetened, condensed coconut cream.

  10. Rahul

    Thanks for sharing eggless cake recipe. Want to eat such yummy pineapple cake then order a cake from monginis. They provide fresh cakes at affordable cost.

  11. Vaishali

    Thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I tried it and the cake turned out delicious!
    I just had one comment – the 20 oz can of crushed pineapple actually gives 1 cup juice and 1 cup drained pineapple. However the recipe uses only 1/2 cup of juice and 1/2 cup drained pineapple. Did I do something different? Your response would be appreciated, thanks!

  12. Neha

    Manjula Aunty I have tried many of your recipe’s and have never gone wrong. But this time this cake turned out slightly bitter not sure what went wrong.

  13. Mahesh

    Dear aunt
    what is the difference between Baking Soda and Baking Powder.

    1. AMAN

      I LIKE YOUR RECPIES

  14. Kathleen Hawkes

    My friend told me about Manjula very very nice.

  15. surabhi

    dear aunty
    the cake looks really lovely .
    i am looking forward to preparing it today .
    all the measurements are in cups and it is slightly confusing.
    for maida 1 cup =128 gms
    for butter 1 cup =113 gms
    for juice 1 cup =125 ml.
    for condensed milk half can is 200ml.
    are my calculations correct?
    it would be better if the measurements were in weights.
    thank you

  16. Rashmi Shekar

    Can i used yeast instead of Baking powder and Baking soda?

  17. Seema

  18. bhawna

    mam plz tell me the substitute for condensed milk

  19. Shilpa

    I was so looking forward to eating this cake. It turned out bitter 🙁 The only change I made was to use a butter substitute.. Could you please tell me what might have gone wrong? Also i baked it in a 3×8 inch loaf tin and it took more than twice the mentioned amount of time to bake.

    1. Neha

      Hi Shilpa

      I tried this recipe and it turned out greatt..

      Make sure you aren’t using too much of pineapple as excess pineapple can give bitter taste.

      try it again with same recipe, I am sure it will taste yum..:

  20. reshma

    hi, i would like to know if i can substitute the pineapple by fresh one ,then how to get the syrup to moistened the cake after cooking.thank you.

  21. MANINI

  33. Preeti

    Hello Auntie

    Your website here says 1-1/4 cups of maida but your video says 1 + 1-1/4 cups maid a. I made last cake looking at your video and this one I am following your website. I think my proportions are wrong now. My cake is still in oven and I guess it won’t come out well.

    Please correct the error on your website so that others dont get confused like me.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Preeti,
      Somewhere you misunderstood it 1 and 1/4 cup of flour.

  34. Khushboo

    Hi,
    Tried your recipe today. I am vegan so I replaced butter and milk with vegan alternatives along with little egg re-placer… The cake turned out to be amazingly delicious! Ur tip of adding little pineapple juice in the end over hot cake rocks!!

    Thank you so much…..u r a *star*

    Lots of luv 🙂

  36. Yasmeen

    Dear Aunty,

    After viewing your pineapple cake, I tried sending you an email asking if orange cake would turn out same replacing pineapple. Since, I didnt hear from you and decided to try one by myself..I would luv to share with you the same.

    Ingredients:
    8 ounces self raising flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    pinch of salt
    5 ounces sugar
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    zest of 1 orange
    half cup orange juice
    half cup thick cream
    5 table spoon unsalted butter
    200 g choco chip

    Beat butter and sugar until creamy and than add vanilla essence followed with orange juice thick cream and zest and mix well.

    Sift the flour and mix it to the above batter along with baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add the choco chips and spread evenly on the prepared tin. Make sure to grease the tin with butter prior than putting the mixed batter. Preheat oven on 300 f and bake for 25 mins or until skewer inserted is clean..

    Enjoy

  41. Parul

    Hello Manjulaji,

    I was thinking about making this cake tomorrow for about 10-15 people using 9″ cake pans. Could you please post the recipe to accommodate that many people? Also, can I substitute the condensed milk with vanilla pudding and evaporated milk? Will still be soft?
    Thanks in advance!!

  42. Lakshmi

    Manjula ji,

    Thank you for this wonderful recipe. My child has egg and nut allergies – so I am always looking for eggless recipes. This tastes awesome. I wanted to make this for a Birthday party – I was wondering if I can double this recipe without changing the oven temperature and timing.

  43. kazza

    Hello aunty,
    Your recipes are awsome.You teach like a mother, each n everything.I tried all of your rice recipes.aunty i couldn’t find baking powder on indian store so plz let me know from where i can get that or only baking soda can do….please guide.

    1. Lakshmi

      You should be able to get baking powder in regular grocery stores. Most of them usually carry KRAFT’S Calumet Baking powder. Has always worked for me (make sure to check the expiration date).

    Hello Manjula Aunty,

    I was just curious to know whether I can use fresh pineapple and crush them rather than using a canned one?

    1. Manjula Jain

      Urza,
      Fresh crush pineapple will work.

  52. Victoria

    Hi Manjula!
    I love your recipes, I have tried a few, they always come out good. I feel like I am right there in your kitchen learning how to cook delicious Indian food. You should get your own TV show teaching all those “chefs” how is done. Pay attention Oprah, this is your new cooking star.

  53. sanjivni

  54. Shubha

    Hi Manjula,
    I tried this recipe.
    The cake did not come out perfect, it was not baked well in the middle.
    But the corners and crust were just fine. The taste was good too.

  55. Preet

  57. Nav Chohan

    Hello Auntie,

    thank you so much for this delicious recipe. I have made it several times and it turns out absolutely perfect. My family loves this cake and its wonderful to have with tea or even after dinner as dessert.

    I usually cut my cake into squares and serve it with one spoonful of coolwhip cream topped with the crushed pineapple and a sprinkle of crushed pistachios.

  58. Hinal

    hello.
    I loved the recepie but I just wanted to kno can I make the same cake with fresh pineapple?

    please let me know
    thanks

    1. Manjula Jain

      Anita,
      You can use pyrex may be have to bake few minutes longer.

  60. Dominique

    My boyfriend and I love this cake! Instead of sweetened condensed milk I used a commercial soy creamer and added sugar until it approximated the sweetness of the condensed milk. The texture is wonderful and the cardamom level is so nice – there, but not screaming at you! haha For the top I used solid, cold coconut cream from one can of coconut milk with some powdered sugar and 1/2 vanilla bean (scraped) and whipped it just like cream in my stand mixer. I’ll be making this a lot. Thanks for the recipe!!

  61. Chen

    Can I substitute oil for melted butter?

  62. Avanisa

    Hi Aunty,

    Can I substitute milk + sugar for condensed milk? (my son is allergic to dairy products) If so, can you suggest me the equilvalent proportions?

    thanks in advance,
    Avanisa

  63. vidula

    Thanks aunty for the wonderful eggless recipe as I hate the smell of eggs.My cake came out really well but my batter was runny unlike yours which seems a littlte stiff.Also I felt that the cake was a little more moist than required.Where can I have gone wrong?

  64. Indianapolis Wedding Cakes

    OMG, Pineapple cake is one of my all time favorites! Never seen it made eggless before though! Might have to give this a try to see how it turns out. Thanks for the great post!

  65. Prasanna

    Hi Manjula Anuty,

    Thanks

    1. Manjula Jain

      Prasanna,
      This is not the same.

  67. Sri

    Hello Manjula Aunty,

    I made the Eggless Pineapple cake for my husband’s birthday, was it a hit! more than a hit!!!! I had also invited our friends and all loved it……
    Thank You for sharing such a wonderful and simple cake recipe!

    I was also curious to know whether pineapple can be subsituted with other fruits?

  68. Jyoti

    Hello Manjula Aunty,
    I tried your eggless pineapple cake recipe and it turned out very well.
    Just wanted to ask you to make a cake for 20+ people do i need to double all the ingredients as mentioned above.

    Please reply.

    Thanks,
    Jyoti

    1. Manjula Jain

      Jyoti,
      Double the ingredients and use the larger baking pan.

  70. Liane Albert

    Sarita,
    I also noticed in your mail to Manjula that you stated

    “I put it in oven with 375 deg as u said,within 5 min cake’s top layer becames black”

    If you notice – Manjula’s recipe says 325.

    That still should NOT have caused your cake to burn so quickly within the first five minutes but …… double check your temperature as always.

    Hope this helps!

  71. Liane Albert

    Sarita,
    Just to be curious? Do you live in the States? People have ovens from all over the world and they can be different so I want to make sure what I’m talking about is correct. It sounds like you might have not preheated the over properly, had it on the wrong temperature or you may have somehow had it on broiler element on perhaps. The reason I say this is because I have a Viking double convection oven and when I turn my oven on to “bake” and set the temperature, while the oven is preheating, it preheats by also using the broiler to help speed up the preheating process. Once it reaches the desired set temperature, the broiler element shuts off automatically.
    What happened to you – happened to me once. We’d just built and moved into our home and I wasn’t familiar enough with my oven and only after putting something in the oven to bake and not preheating the oven to the full temperature and having the top become completely black – I read my oven instructions and discovered why.
    I would definitely try making the cake again but make sure that your oven is set properly and that the top heating elements are working properly (since that is where your cake burned – the top) before putting your cake in – that way you won’t waste an entire cake and wind up having it burn again.

  72. sarita

    Hi Manjula aunty,I have just seen ur all recps,I tried eggless pinapple cake,But I got problem,I put it in oven with 375 deg as u said,within 5 min cake’s top layer becames black ,it was smelling burning ,so i lower temp to 180 degs,and kept it for 20 min,I saw cake had risen a lot ,and taken it out an checked with knife,so it was not cooked at bootom side,so why cake might hv burnt?

    1. Jaya

      Sarita, did you bake the cake too close to the top of the oven? Always bake using the rack in the MIDDLE of the oven so there is equal distance to the top and bottom of the inside of the oven.

    2. Sonal

      Sarita,
      In US the unit is Fahrenheit but in India all appliances have temperature in Celsius which might have made your cake burn. A friend of mine made the same mistake as she was used to 180C which is about 350 F. She did not convert and her cake did not cook properly.

  73. Neeta

    This is an excellent receipe. Made it for my husbands birthday and everyone loved it. Thanks for the wonderful reciepe.

  74. Chavi

    Hello Aunty,

    i have a question…my oven has different symbols like top n bottom heat, bottom heat only , top heat only….which one should be set for baking a cake…

    pls reply soon as i am new to baking…

    thanks…n regards

    1. Sonal

      Chavi,

      You seem to have an OTG. It bakes excellent cake. The top heat option is for broiling, which is generally used for meats and for browning purpose. The bottom heat is used for baking. Both heat are required while making Naan or Baati. You may also search on Google as I am not an expert but have an OTG in India. Right now I am in US so have a bigger oven. Hope this helps you.

      1. chavi

        Hi Sonal.

        Thanks a lot for your reply..i really dont know if its an OTG because it looks like an oven to me. Its a big oven below my cooking range…but your reply is very helpful….regards

  75. Liane Albert

    Hi,
    I have a no bake eggless cheesecake recipe that is very easy – this may work better for people here in the US or other areas as I am not sure if you’d be able to get all the ingredients / pans there. If you don’t want

    2 cups grambcracker crumbs – you can buy them already crushed or crush them yourself. If you crush them yourself – make sure they are very fine.
    6 Tbsp. Margarine, melted
    1 cup Sugar, divided
    4 pkg / blocks (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened
    1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping, thawed

    TO MAKE

    MIX graham crumbs, margarine and 1/4 cup sugar; press onto bottom of 13×9-inch pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

    TO PREPARE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING

    BEAT cream cheese and remaining 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended.
    Stir / Fold in thawed tub of whipped topping and then gently spoon over crust.

    REFRIGERATE 4 hours or until firm.

    If you wish to make this a strawberry or cherry cheesecake – use one can of strawberry or cherry pie filling and top the prepared cheesecake after it’s set in the refrigerator for 4 hours or until firm and set.

    Store leftovers in refrigerator.

    If you wish to make a smaller version – cut ingredients in half and use a 9 inch pie plate – follow same direction just use half the amount of ingredients and prepare in a 9 inch pie plate.

    1. Manjula Jain

      Liane,
      This looks good I will try this soon and let you know.
      Thank you,

      1. Liane Albert

        Thanks Manjula,

        I know that you’ll enjoy it. It’s very simple. I wrote that you have to used “lite” cool whip but you can actually use any kind that you would like.

        Also, if you like to have a little bit thicker graham cracker crust on the bottom you can always increase the amount of graham crackers by 3/4 cup and add another tablespoon or two of melted butter. Sometimes I also will add another half can of pie filling as well if I want more of that. It’s versatile and as cooks know – you can always play around with it. Enjoy!

  76. Gertie

    Aunti, I want to thank you for this amazing recipe. My husband absolutely adores this cake. I had tried some other eggless cakes, but none had the moist consistency my husband loves. I also tried making it as an apple cake, which we also enjoyed very much. I used granny smith apples, and they aren’t very juicy, so I used apple juice from a bottle for the liquid. I processed the apples in the food processor until they were about the same size pieces as crushed pineapple. I had made those things that look like pretzels which you dip in sugar syrup, so I had syrup to spare. I used that on top of the cake by just painting it on lightly after warming it in the microwave and then sprinkled the top with a little cinnamon. Very tasty! But my husband says to be sure and tell you he likes your pineapple best. 🙂

  77. Pinky

    Hi aunty,
    The cake came out very well and my parents liked it so much. I have a request can you also post how to make eggless cheese cake and eggless white forest cake.
    Thank you.

  78. Tajinder

    Hi Aunti Ji,
    I am so pleased to have found your website. I have made quite a few recipes from your site and have been very pleased with the results each time. As a vegetarian it’s difficult to find good eggless cake recipes and I don’t feel egg replacers are a good substitute, but now I have found the perfect cake. Your eggless pineapple cake is the only cake that I have come across that is spongy and moist. I recently made them for my children’s 2nd and 4th birthdays. Once they were decorated they looked amazing our guests could not believe they were homemade. I was wondering can the pineapples be replaced with something else to give a different flavour? I would be very grateful if you could recommend a chocolate cake recipe. Aunti ji please post more cake recipes. Thank you.

  81. adnan

    How much minute we should cool to pour pineapple syrup, & After pouring the syrup how much time later we should cool in fridge ?

  82. Archana Jadhav

    Hello Auntie,

    I am sorry that, i didn’t see you have already posted a cake recipe..

    1) In India, I know only “amul butter” & that is “salty” so, if I don’t use salt in cake then ?

    2) Have you used fresh pineapple? then how you used? I read your 1 reply that you have suggested to making “stew”. How to make “pineapple stew”?

    3) Please post some more recipe of “Egg-less” cake.

    Reply me as soon as possible,

    Thank You.

    1. Sonal

      Archana,

      You can use Amul Butter and omit the salt in the recipe. I have been preparing cakes with amul butter and it gives a unique flavor to the cakes which you’ll definitely love.
      You can use fresh pineapple and crush it in a processor or chop it fine.

      1. Archana Jadhav

        Hi,

        Thanks A lot Sonal 🙂

  87. Nannu

    Hi Manjula Aunty,

    I tried making this cake today and it came out perfect. It was very moist and spongy. My family loved it and especially my 2-1/2 year old son who usually does not eat anything sweet, loved it.

    I wanted to ask you if I can I make Orange Cake using the same recipe, just replacing pineapple for orange.

    Do reply. Thanks a ton for all your good work.

    Nannu

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Nannu,
      I have not tried with orange I have tried with apples so try it and let me also know how the cake came out I really don’t see any problem.

    hi , aunti ji. what is the difference between baking soda and baking powder ?

    1. Jaya

      Rozy, baking soda and baking powder are similar in that they are both leavening agents, but which one is best for a particular dish is a longer answer. They are not automaticallly interchangeable. You’d be best to Google it for more complete information.

      1. Flip in Pittsburgh

        Baking soda is sodium bi-carbonate. It reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide bubbles which make dishes rise.

        Baking powder is baking soda and an acid salt.

        When making a dish that does not have an acid component of it’s own, you use baking powder instead.

        Some recipes require both when extra leavening is required.

  89. Leena

    Manjula:
    Can you please mail me how to prepare icing.
    Thanks
    Leena

    1. Manjula Jain

      Leena,
      I dont make icing if I need to I use whip cream for icing.

    2. Jaya

      Leena and Swati, Here is a basic recipe for butter frosting/icing (same thing):

      1) melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan on low heat til golden (don’t let it burn),
      2) remove butter from heat,
      3) sift 4 cups of powdered sugar/confectioner’s sugar (same thing) into a large bowl,
      4) mix the melted butter into the sugar with a spoon,
      5) Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and blend,
      6) mixing with a spoon or whisk, blend in about 1/4 cup of milk or light cream into the powdered sugar. Add gradually the milk or cream until the icing is of a spreading consistency (similar to a thick batter).

      Spread icing evenly, but not too thick, over cooled cake and the icing will firm up after a few minutes. This recipe may make more icing than you need for this sized cake.

      Note: you must use powdered sugar NOT granulated sugar.

      Hope you like it. 🙂

    3. Jaya

      If anyone makes this icing recipe, let me know how you like it! Thanks.

  90. Swathi

    Aunty Ji thanks for your recipe. Can you tell me how to do icing?

  97. neelam

    no new recipes

  98. Arthy

    one of the best cakes that I have ever eaten. Texture is so soft as if lots of eggs are added. None would believe its eggless. In general I don’t like cakes. But this cake makes me have some now and then.

  99. Saumya

    Hi Manjula Aunty,

    I must tell you that your website is really awesome. You have inspired so many like me to learn new dishes which looked impossible before seeing your site. I have tried Papdi chat, pani puri, mathri, khasta kachori, samosa, besan ladoo, kulfi, pineapple cake, gajar ka halwa, gujia, nan khatai, namak paare, bread pakora, masala french fries, spicy potatoes and many others and each one of the dishes came out perfectly even in their first trial. Special thanks for eggless cake!

    Thanks a lot! You rock! 🙂

  100. Nisha

    Thanks,

    Hello Manjula ji,
    Thanks for your recipe.
    Yesterday night i tried this cake and i placed the cake in middle rack of the oven but it is taken around 45 min even though it is sticking to the tooth pick.
    I am not comfortable with butter ,ghee smell.
    so can you please suggest me any replacement for butter like veg oil,dalda.
    thanks in advance
    Yummy

    1. Yummy

      Hello Manjulaji.
      I tried yesterday and it came out very well.
      and i replaced butter with veg oil.
      thanks for nice recepi

  109. Mili

    Hi Manjulaji,

    Can we use a round cake pan instead of sqaure (about 9″ in diameter)? Also, I was able to get only unsweetend crushed pineapple. Would that work for the recipe or do I need to add sugar ? Please let me know the answer to these queries ASAP as I am planning to prepare this cake or my husband’s birth-day on Wednesday :))

    Thanks.

    1. Flip in Pittsburgh

      A round pan would work, but generally you want to have the same thickness when poured.

      8×8 = 64in^2
      9 inch roiund pan = 63.62 in^2 so that should work well.

      We doubled the recipe and used 9×13. (127in^2 is almost 2x64in^2)

  110. sagarika

    i love the way u teach us …………….my mom learnt a lot from you …………..thanks for teaching us and plzz keep doing it for us …………….n if u can then plzz send new recipies in my e-mail id ……as i love to eat whatever u tell us n my mom trys to make it thus plzz ……………………..thanking you at last

  111. Preethi

    Hi Manjula Ji,
    Thanks for the recipe. I tried the cake and it came out very well (made it using the Condensed milk). I would like to see if we can replace condensed milk.
    Could you please tell me if we can substitute Condensed milk with any other thing.

    Thanks,
    Preethi.

  112. Deepika

    hello aunty,
    the cakes looks amazing, but in india it’s not as easy to find canned pineapples. can you please suggest a method using real pineapples. and the proportions, also what to substiute for the pineapple juice?
    and when you said no mixing, only folding, won’t that lead to lumps?

    1. sss

      I am surprised you said canned pineapple not easily available in India.I am eating canned pineapple past 20 yrs.U’ll easily find them in confectioner’s shop and it is also easily available at grocerry stores.

  113. Honey

    Hello Manjula Aunty,

    I tried this cake and it came out wonderful.can you plz let me know that if i can vary the pineapple for mango or berries and if yes then what do i need to use instead of pineapple juice .plz do reply .

    Thanks,
    Honey.

  114. rawraj

    Any baking powder substitute. Why cant we use eno.
    All baking powders in India contain aluminum, apart from being bad for health(would definitely keep away from kids) also adds a tinny flavor to the end product.
    Any substitutes
    Thanks

  115. Rupali

    1. Manjula Jain

      Hi Indulekha,

  121. PRITI

    Dear Manjulaben,

    I made this cake for my dad’s 71st bday, we all loved it, and topped it with ice-cream and chopped canned pineapple pieces.
    I just wanted to say thank you very much for sharing your receipes. I have told many of my friends and family about your site, especially those who I know do not eat onions and garlic.
    You have great varieties!

  122. richa

    hello ma`am,

    i made this cake n it was simply awesome. I want to try the same thing with orange now. Can i use whole wheat floor instead of all-purpose floor?

    1. Flip in Pittsburgh

      Made this last night and used whole wheat flour… it came out fine!

  123. Suja

    Hi Manjulaji,
    Thanks for posting this recipe. I made this cake for my mom’s 69th birthday, she is a total vergetarian and she enjoyed it a lot. I did make some modifications to the recipe as per my mom’s likes and dislikes and what was available in my pantry. I used same amount of cake flour in place of the all purpose flour, I subsituted 1 cup of grated carrots for pineapple as my mom does not like pineapple and 1/2 cup water for the pineapple juice. Since I had to use water in place of the pineapple juice I added 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. I also substituted 1/2 tsp of ground pumpkin spice in place of the cardamom powder as I did not have that in my pantry. I add 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts and 1 tablespoon of golden raisins roughly chopped. I baked the cake in a 2 qt square corningware dish and so I had to increase the baking time to 30 minutes. All in all the cake turned out super moist and very delicious. Thanks to you for your hard work and sharing all tehse wonderful recipes with the rest of the world. My mom had given up on onions, garlic about a few years ago and now when she visits me, thanks to your website, I am able to make the same dishes for all of us and she can enjoy them too as they are all saatvik. Thanks a million.

    1. astha

      hi aunty
      can u plz tell me how to prepare this in a microwave??

      1. Sana

        You can’t prepare it in a microwave. Since baking a cake takes a lot of time and continuous heat application, a cake can only be made in an oven.
        Hopefully that answers your question. (:

        1. Jyoti

          Hi,

          You can make the cake in the pressure cooker.

    hi aunty,

    can i make this cake with regular milk(whole milk) instead of condensed milk. if so,
    please give me measurements for milk and sugar. Thank you.

  149. Mrunal

    Hello aunty,
    You are too good. I tried your punjabi chole n gulabjam recepie n they turned out to be very good.
    Aunty I just wanted to know, how much condensed milk should i use if i have to measure using cup.

  150. Harpreet

    Love You Aunty for all your efforts for us…

    Aunty I don’t have an oven, cake I use Microwave instead.

  151. deepa

    hello,manjula aunty,
    please can u teach me simple eggless cake and egg cake.i also need simple sabzi curry.i mailed u before but i didn’t get reply.i hope this time i get reply from u.waiting for ur reply.thanking you.
    bye

    1. Jaya

      You can also Google “eggless cake” and get many replies. Aunty has already written here that she does not bake much.

      As for sabji curry, can you be more specific as to what you want? It’s too vague of a description. Sabji curry can be so many different dishes.

      Also, check through all of her vegetable recipes here on her site.

  152. sushmalohit

    hi manjula aunty,
    *i wanted to try this cake but i am not getting unsalted butter wat can i do…..
    *is condense milk same v call it (milk made), can i use milk made only…..

    1. Jaya

      If you can’t get unsalted butter, then just use regular butter with salt. Not that big of a difference.

      Nestle brand Milkmaid in India is the same as the sweetened condensed milk sold in the US, so yes they are interchangeable.

    2. Flip in Pittsburgh

      You can omit or reduce the salt in the recipe if you can’t find unsalted butter. That’s what i did and it came out fine.

  153. sree

    hi manjula aunty,
    can u please tell me how much time oven should be preheated……….please answer ,will be appreciated ……….

    1. Jaya

      It greatly depends on the type of oven you have. Most ovens have an indicator to tell you when it is pre-heated and has reached the desired temperature.

  154. vidya

    Hello Manjulaji,
    How can i make this in to a sugar free cake?

    thank you

  155. Anju

    I tried making this recipie…it came out so well…thanks for sharing this wonderful recipie

    who don’t have one.

    Thanks,
    Anju

  156. Anu

    Hi Manjulaji,
    I tried out the eggless pineapple cake today. I added all the ingredients you said. I baked it at 325 F for 25 minutes. At the end of 25 minutes, the cake was still sticky and not fluffy, so I baked it for another 5 min. I let it cool until the cake was warm to transfer it onto a plate, when I did this, the cake broke off into several pieces. I like to know where I could have gone wrong in these steps. Can you help me out?

  157. Jaya

    Substituting apple sauce for butter is a big change in a recipe.

  158. Thimapra

    Hi Manjulaji,
    I tried out this cake yesterday. I added everything that you said except the butter. I wanted to make it low fat, so I added apple sauce instead of butter. The cake tasted good. But the texture of the cake was not spongy ( no holes). The cake was a lil sticky. I put the right amount of baking soda and baking powder too. What do you think could have been the reason for that?

    Thank you,
    T.

  159. Farah

    Hello Manjula Ji,
    Your recipe looks awsome! My mother tried it today, only she put the over on 300 Celsius instead of Farenheit, we use Celsius here in Europe and we fergot that you work with Farenheit. Could you please next time tell us the degree’s and/or length/diameter in Metric volume also, so we don’t accidently burn the cake 🙂

    Thank you Manjula, you’re our hero!

    btw you remind me of my grandmother, only she is egyptian… And her cooking skills are also 5 stars 😀

  163. Neha

    Hi manjula ma’am…Thanks for such a nice recipe….I am very fond of cooking and like to try out new things. I want to make cakes but i don’t have an oven.

    Could u please guide me about how to bake cakes in microwave ? The microwave cooking % ge and time?

    1. Flip in Pittsburgh

      Microwave cooking times are going to vary depending on the power of your microwave. Best to experiment. This is going to make you watch the first time through.
      I’d microwave on high until the batter starts releasing bubbles, then progressively lower the power level until it just under simmering. you really don’t want the batter to boil. Watch the batter and test it every few minutes for consistency/doneness. I’ve made custards in the microwave, but not cake. Not sure how it’ll work… let us know how it turns out.

  164. Manasi

    Namaste Auntyji,
    I tried the cake day before yesterday and came out awesome !!! We are Jains too, and so do not eat eggs.Hence there is limitation on baking.But I had canned pineapples in refridgerator since few days. The moment I saw your receipe I started to bake immediately. And my husband just loved it.( he doesen’t like sweet so much but the sugar content of your cake was perfect according to him).He carries one piece of the cake everyday to office to have in the late afternoon. 🙂

    Thank You so much Auntyji you made my day !!!
