i successfully baked pineapple butter cake last night, for dad..and he likes it =)

to be honest, i have never bake a good butter cake..they'll be either too hard, too dry or too much baking soda, etc etc (but, dad will finish up any butter cake i bake, good or bad, hehe..) and last night, i modified the recipe that i found. i would like to name it Pineapple Cheese Butter Cake..and this is the recipe..

250 g butter
125 g cream cheese
3 large eggs
150 g sugar (the cake will be just nice, not too sweet)
200 g flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 can drained pineapple
1 cup of pineapple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

1. cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy.
2. add eggs and vanilla one at a time (i put in the vanilla together with the eggs).
3. beat for about 5 mins.
4. put in syrup and mix well.
5. fold in the flour, slowly and mix well until smooth. (add some flour to the pineapple so that they will not sink down..i forgot to add flour in to mine, and all the pineapple sank at the bottom of the cake)
6. transfer batter into appropriate size of baking tin.
7. bake for 55- 60 mins in 175 C or until skewer inserted into the cake, comes out clean (mine took an hour and 15 mins).

the cake smells nice and taste good too. =)
