How to make Pineapple Snack Cakes

Let’s start preparing the Pineapple Snack Cakes. Butter and flour the molds, preheat the static oven to 355°F (180°C) so it warms up in the meantime. If you have a stand mixer, you can use it for mixing, or you can do it with electric whisks in a bowl. Pour the eggs into the bowl, the
sugar
and whisk them with the electric whisks.
Keeping the whisks running, add the sunflower oil in a stream, the pineapple syrup, a pinch of salt, and continue to work everything with the whisks.
the pineapple syrup,
when the mixture is nice and puffy, add a pinch of salt
and vanilla essence or a packet of vanilla sugar.
Now add the sifted baking powder
the flour,
and the cornstarch
Mix everything with the electric whisks so there are no lumps.
Pour the mixture into the molds
and place a slice of canned pineapple on top, pressing the slice lightly into the batter.
Place the molds on a baking sheet and sprinkle with brown sugar to get cakes with a caramelized and well-golden surface.
Bake the pineapple cakes in the preheated oven at 355°F and bake for 20 minutes. When the Pineapple Snack Cakes are cooked, take them out of the oven and let them cool, then use a knife to help remove the cakes from the molds.
