- Layer Flavors: Adding the eggs one at a time enhances the mixture’s emulsion, retaining a rich flavor and smooth texture.
- Alternate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternating between the dry ingredients and pineapple juice when adding them to the batter ensures a uniform texture without overmixing.
- Enhance Pineapple Flavor: For an extra pop of pineapple, you can brush the warm cake with a little pineapple juice or a simple syrup infused with pineapple essence.
