Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1/2 cup Sugar castor sugar can be substituted, granulated
- 1 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 cup Walnuts finely chopped or ground
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple Puree freshly made is best
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil rice bran oil or other neutral-flavored oil
- 2 Large Eggs
Instructions
Preparing the Dry Ingredients
- Sift the whole wheat flour and granulated sugar together thoroughly to remove any lumps. Add the ground cinnamon and baking powder, and mix well. Fold in the chopped or ground walnuts.
Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the pineapple puree and vegetable oil to the eggs and whisk until well combined. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Baking the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Baking and Cooling
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for a Perfect Healthy Pineapple Walnut Cake

- Adding a pinch of salt to the batter enhances the sweetness of the pineapple.
- To make the cake even healthier, consider using a sugar substitute, such as honey or maple syrup (adjust the quantity accordingly).
- Don't overmix the batter; overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
