I would so much appreciate help with finding a Christmas cake recipe that has pineapple in it.It has to be one of the yummiest Christmas cakes I have ever eaten.
The recipe (was from memory) in a monthly woman magazine (maybe Australia definitely not NZ).I accidently threw the magazine out but desperate to get a copy of the recipe. Have spent time trying to find it on the internet but haven't quite found what I am looking for.
This is the only thing I remember about it.It has crushed pineapple and once it's cooked, you take it out of the pan, wrap it in a couple of tea towels and then place the whole thing in a couple of plastic shopping bags.Some of the moistness comes from the steam created in the cake cooling inside the bag, however, I believe it must be more than that.
If someone can help me, I willl be internally grateful.I will make sure I don't make the same mistake again.
Shazzie sorry had to laugh at you saying 'internally grateful'LOLI think you meant eternally grateful!;)

Yes, it really is the yummmiest of cakes.Didn't realise the NZWW had it. You need to keep that mag! Frame it or laminate it. I think it's that good. What is the longest you have kept the cake? I have always kind of made it a few nights before I need it... not as well organised as you hohee.Some of the people on this site are just a wealth of information. Fantastic!Merry Christmas...
SOrry,should read 2007!! Usually bake the cakes in November and when cool wrap in greaseproof and tinfoil than a plastic bag and place in the freezer which improves the flavour (read that years ago and have done it ever since.hohee.
