One of our favorite things about this recipe was the wonderful texture produced by using a sweet corn muffin mix in the batter. Similar to northern Italian polenta cake, these individual cakes are moist, yet coarser than traditional cakes made with cake flour. Ingredients:
1 (8.5-ounce) package corn muffin mix |
1 (20-ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and divided |
1 large egg |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar, divided |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1 (2-ounce) package macadamia nut pieces |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided |
1 tablespoon granulated sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine corn muffin mix, 3/4 cup pineapple, egg, milk, and coconut; stir just until blended.
2. Combine melted butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and macadamia nuts to form a streusel topping.
3. Spoon batter into 12 greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Sprinkle streusel mixture evenly over batter. Bake at 350° for 22 to 25 minutes or until golden. Remove from pans, and cool on wire racks.
4. Meanwhile, combine 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; remove from heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup pineapple.
5. Combine remaining 1 cup whipping cream and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a medium bowl, and beat at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
6. Serve each individual cake with praline sauce and whipped cream.
