Cook’s tip: Slicing the pineapple thinly and using the remaining juice on top of the cake increases the delicious fresh pineapple intensity throughout the cake as it bakes. Each bite is infused with tropical flavor.

For Reduced Fat Version:

Replace regular sour cream with fat free sour cream.

Use unsweetened applesauce in place of butter.

Note

Nutritional Note: Canned pineapple has approximately 25% more total carbohydrates and about the same fiber as fresh. Why? Because the canned pineapple is packed tightly when processed and much more juice is present in each can. Use fresh pineapple wherever possible in place of canned for maximizing pineapple flavor and reducing carb counts.
