PINEAPPLE SAGE CAKE
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. granulated sugar (I use half Splenda)
2 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 can crushed pineapple packed in its own juice, undrained*
2 Tbs finely snipped young pineapple sage leaves* (or sub lemon verbena)
Note: This is such an easy cake to make, even with a spoon, as I prefer not to use an electric mixer as it tends to emulsify the pineapple. It is even moister the second day. There’s no oil or shortening in it because the pineapple provides the moistness.
In a large bowl, put all of the ingredients in at once. Mix well with a wooden spoon; pour batter into a well-greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. (In my oven 25 minutes is enough, but someone told me they used a glass pan @ 325 for 40 minutes.) While still slightly warm, frost with your favorite cream cheese icing and decorate with fresh pineapple sage leaves and its flowers.
* It is important to use young leaves (those at the top of the plant) because I found that older leaves did not have much flavor. This is an old recipe that I have seen published (without the herbs) as Pineapple Perfection Cake, Mexican Wedding Cake, and even Chop Suey Cake! submitted by: Maggie Keeler

Hello~
I love the photo of that Pineapple Sage plant in glorious full bloom that you put with my cake recipe. I sent the URL to an herb friend, who enjoyed it too, but she pointed out to me that the size of the can of pineapple was omitted. Sorry; my recipe calls for a 20-ounce can of crushed pineapple. I usually use the kind that is packed in its own juice ( to cut back on the carbs), but the pineapple packed in syrup is just as good.
Regards,

Excellent wedding cakes may make a wedding a lot more memorable, in particular due to the fact lots of couples retain their cakes for just a calendar year to celebrate afterwards.

Fruit cake is a served in Jamaica at Christmas celebrations and weddings. Slightly different than the Christmas fruit cake you find in Europe or the United States, this cake is potent and rich. In the Jamaican tradition, you make many cakes at once, because it is polite to offer cake to house guests during the holiday season. If you want to adopt this tradition, you may want to double or triple the rum cake recipe. Find out how to make Jamaican rum cake.”
