I was browsing through my facebook page today. Among other pages that I look through on a regular basis is Nestle's Milkmaid Sweet Moments. They have such good recipes posted, especially eggless ones. Right now they are having "Cool Cake Saturdays" where they share cake recipes every saturday. The first recipe they posted today is this Pineapple upside down cake. My cake is in the oven as I write this post. Hopefully it will turn out good, The usual eggless recipes that I make are not satisfactory, because the cake usually turn out dense. The texture of this cake as I was beating the mixture was quite light and frothy so hopefully, it will be alight cake.
So, here's the recipe:
EGGLESS PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
Preparation time: 15 mins

I'll be sharing more of milkmaid recipes as time passes, but for those who would like to check out Nestle's page, here's the link-

This cake doesn't need decorating at all. Although some dark red cherries contrasting with the uellow of the pineapple do look wonderful. As for me I don't have any cherries now so I'll probably be decorating with some coloured gel or jam. I don't know I'll see when it comes to taking the cake out of the oven.
