Pineapple Pound Cake
Ingredients for Cake as follows:
Preheat Oven to 325 degrees
1/2 cup Vegetable Shortening
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, 8 ounces)
5 large eggs
3 cups confectioners' sugar
4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple in juice, divided
Note: In All Baking, Recipe Friends, if the recipe calls for
butter, always use unsalted butter...and sweet children, don't
ask me why...it's just that way...I guess we can say that God is
coming to dinner and that's what He said to do...I personally do
not know why...it's just an old baking rule!
Ingredients for Glaze as follows:
2 Tablespoons Butter (1 ounce)
1 cup (8 ounces) crushed pineapple & juice from above
1 cup confectioners'
sugar
Pretty whole cherries with stems
Grease and flour a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan.
Measure out 1 cup of pineapple with its juice; set aside for the
glaze.
Using a large bowl, cream together the shortening, butter,
sugars, salt, and the baking powder until light and fluffy.
Beat in your eggs, one at a time (scraping the sides and the
bottom of the bowl after each addition). Add the flour
mixture, mixing until combined. Stir in the remaining
pineapple, and then pour your batter into your prepared pan.
Bake for 1 1/2 hours, until a tester (toothpick) inserted in the
center of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and
place the pan on a rack, run a thin, dull blade around the
outside edge to help it loosen up, and cool the cake in the pan
for 20 minutes (no more). After the 20 minutes, invert the cake
on a very slightly buttered plate and then turn it over once
more so it's right-side-up on a pretty cake plate.
To make the glaze:
Heat the butter in a small saucepan. Stir in your
confectioners' sugar & reserved pineapple with its juice. Bring
to a boil, remove from the heat, and pour the mixture over the
top of the cake while it's still warm. Decorate with some
pretty cherries that have the stems on them.
