- Pineapple Crumbcake
-
- 2 sticks (8 ounces) butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 medium pineapple (2 to 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-
- Preheat the oven to 350F. butter a 10 by 2 inch round cake pan and line the
- bottom with waxed paper.
-
- In a large mixer bowl, beat 1 stick of the butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar
- until light and fluffy. Add the whole egg and continue beating until well
- blended. Gradually add the egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each
- addition. Beat in the vanilla.
-
- Sift together 1 1/4 cups of the flour and the baking powder. Stir into the
- butter mixture. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
-
- Cut the skin and eyes from the pineapple. Quarter and core the pineapple.
- Cut the quarters crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Arrange the slices
- in concentric circles, overlapping slightly and leaving a margin of about
- 1 inch around the edge.
-
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the remaining 1 stick butter. Let
- cool slightly.
-
- In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/4 cups flour
- and the cinnamon. Pour the melted butter over the flour mixture and rub
- together with your fingertips to form coarse, pea-size crumbs. Scatter
- the crumbs evenly over the pineapple and better.
-
- Bake the cake for 55 to 60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center
- comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Unmold onto a
- plate and remove the paper. Invert back onto a rack to cool. Serve warm
- or at room temperature.
