  • Preheat oven to 175°C.
  • Grease two 6" pans with home made pan release.
  • Beat together condensed milk, melted butter and pineapple essence.
  • Add the pineapple juice, sugar and vinegar and beat well.

  • Divide the batter between both the pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes.
  • Remove cake once it passes the tooth pick test.
  • Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • Flip the cakes on the wire rack and allow it to cool completely.
  • Trim the top crust of the cakes with a bread knife.
  • Whip the cold cream until soft peaks form.
  • Add the pineapple essence and icing sugar and beat until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Do not over beat else you will end up with butter.
  • Now place one cake on a serving plate.
  • Brush the top of the cake with pineapple juice. Be generous and wait until the cake absorbs the juice.
  • Apply a layer of whipped cream on top. You can also add some pineapple chunks in this filling.
  • Place the next layer and again apply juice for that layer.
  • Now cover the cake entirely with the whipped cream.
  • You can either leave it rustic or decorate it with rosettes and pineapple chunks.
