Baking is therapeutic. No, I’m not having Izzi’s muffin madness in Grey’s Anatomy. I just find conjuring something from a hodge-podge of ingredients simply fulfilling - pun intended :) The reward is instantaneous…oh well, in about an hour.
The recipe said to cook it for 1 hour and 15 minutes. But since I didn’t follow the suggested baking pan shape and size, I knew it had to be less, so i closely monitored it. Almost to an hour, the skewer test told me the cake’s ready.
Though my recipe book classified it under ‘crumbly cakes’, the outcome is this deliciously sweet, moist macadamia cake.
The crushed pineapple bits inside provide an interesting citrusy twist, while giving one’s taste buds that occassional break from the sweetness. The combination of macadamia nuts and pineapple bits offer interestingly varied textures with each bite. The treacherous looking icing is made of cream cheese, lemon juice and a tiny bit of butter.
