How to choose the best ingredients for pumpkin cake with pineapple and cheese frosting
Grated pumpkin: pumpkins need fresh. Pumpkin mousse is not suitable for this cake.
Chopped fresh pineapple: the pineapples will be good fresh, but you can also use the tinned ones, it won’t matter about the baking and taste.
Tips and tricks
- When we use Flour for baking, we always sift it to make it fluffy, which my grandma always taught me.
- When you have powdered sugar (this can happen when moisture gets into it), don’t worry, you can also sieve it or put it in a blender, and it will be fluffy as soon as you buy it.
- You don’t have powdered sugar. You can ground regular sugar.
