Notes
- Check the cake at the halfway mark. If the top is browning faster, then cover it with aluminum foil.
- Skip salt if you are using salted butter.
- You can substitute brown sugar with regular sugar. The color of the cake will change accordingly.
- You can substitute butter with brown butter to make it more aromatic and take it to the next level.
- You can combine fruits like mango, apple, or even shredded coconut into the recipe.
- For the easy removal of cake, you can line baking pan with parchment paper.
- I have used fresh pineapples. If using canned ones, just use only the fruit, not the liquid.
