Another Cake Recipe!!!! I Saw this Cake @ Jyoti's Blog!!! I Love Pineapples. Tried this last month, before coming to Chennai. Loved the taste of chunky pineapples hidden inside the cake!!!! I have replaced half the amount of AP flour with Wheat flour and also got only 1/2 cup of juice from the can.  Please follow the Link for the Original Recipe
