Healthy Eggless Pineapple Coconut Cake is a healthy cake made using whole wheat flour and oats. It is flavored with pineapple and coconut and uses less sugar. Enjoy the warm slice of cake with hot tea or coffee guilt free or pack this nutritious cake for your kids lunch box.
Pineapple and coconut is an excellent combination. I have used the combination to make a delicious treat. I have used whole wheat flour and powdered oats to make it healthy. Since the cake does not use any cake, I have used lemon juice as an acid to make the cake. The acid from the lemon juice combines with the leavening agents and helps to rise the cake and make it soft and moist. I have used oil in place of butter and have used less sugar to make the cake more healthier. The flavor of the pineapple is not hidden with more sugar.
The cake can be enjoyed warm with a cup of hot tea or coffee. I had an eggless black forest cake order for the client and hence I had some cherry syrup, whipped cream and grated chocolate left after completion of the order. So i had made pastry for my son Aarav with the help of the leftovers using the healthy eggless pineapple coconut cake and served it for dessert.
To make the pastry, I have cut the cake in rectangle and cut it into half. I have soaked the cut cake piece with the help of cherry syrup.
I have then spread the whipped cream and put some cherry pieces and shaved chocolate on one soaked cake piece. I have then sandwiched it using the other soaked piece of cake. I have decorated with whipped cream on the top and put a cherry piece and chocolate shaving and served. (Though i could not take the final pic as the pastry pieces was wiped off the plate as soon as it was served 🙂 )
So friends do make this healthy eggless pineapple coconut cake for your loved ones and share your feedback with me.
Happy baking!!

Any substitute for milk powder?
Hi you can use condensed milk in place of milk powder and skip adding sugar.
If I dont hv milk powder or condensed milk, what else can I use
You can use thick powdered almonds and add 1/4 cup of more sugar or use 1/4 cup thick yogurt and add 1/4 cup of extra sugar
