For many people, baking a cake without refined flour doesn’t feel like a ‘real’ cake, but we beg to differ! Refined flour and other refined food products have been shown to lead to an increase in lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes. There are also people who think that whole wheat is for adults – this is not true! The earlier you get your kids used to whole wheat food products, the better for their health. And contrary to popular belief, you can make pretty much every classic baking recipe with whole wheat flour – including a Whole Wheat Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

Whole Wheat Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Ingredients:

• Whole wheat flour – 1 bowl
• Milk Powder – 1 bowl
• Malai – 1 bowl (fresh cream or you can even store cream of 2 days together in the fridge)
• Powdered sugar / brown sugar/ powdered jaggery – 1 bowl
• Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
• Baking soda – ½ teaspoon
• Tin pineapple – 5-6 slices
• Pineapple syrup – 3/4th bowl (I used the same syrup from the tin)
• Almonds – ½ bowl (ground coarsely with the skin)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Sieve the whole wheat flour with baking powder and baking soda 3-4 times.

2. Mix cream, powdered sugar or jaggery and milk powder together and then add the ground almonds on it. Follow with the dry ingredients by adding them slowly. Add the pineapple syrup and mix well.

3. Grease the baking dish and then place pineapples in it. Fill in the empty places with pineapple pieces. You can fill in the centers with cherries too.

4. Pour the cake batter carefully on top of the pineapples.

5. Bake the cake for 20-25 minutes at 180 degree. Poke a tooth pick to check if the cake is ready and then remove it from the oven.

6. Let the cake cool down completely before turning it out on a plate bottom side up.

Your pineapple upside down cake is ready! Cut into slices and serve.

This whole wheat pineapple cake tastes unbelievably good! The almonds add a lovely flavor, and you can also try some dry fruits powder instead. With summer coming, this is a perfect fruity treat for the kids!
