Easy Gluten-Free Pineapple Cake image

I modified this from a recipe for pear cobbler my dad found on Cooks.com. I made it sugar-free, gluten-free, and with pineapple, since I have an intolerance to pears. It turned out like a light, fluffy sponge cake--delicious!

Time 30m

Yield 1 pan, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup stevia, Truvia blend
1 cup gluten-free flour (I used Gluten-Free Pantry's pie crust mix)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup milk
3 -4 tablespoons water, approximately
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained and chopped into chunks (I used no sugar added)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in an 8 x 8 pan or a 9 inch pie dish. You can do this in the oven at a low temperature, or by placing a metal pie pan on an electric stove burner. Make sure the butter doesn't start to bubble.
  • While the butter is melting, sift together stevia, flour, baking powder, and spices.
  • Mix together agave nectar, vanilla, and milk in a separate bowl, then add it to the dry mix.
  • Whisk the batter until smooth, adding the water as necessary to ensure that it has a thick, but pourable consistency.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter--Do Not Stir.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, scatter chopped pineapple over batter in pan.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until edges of cake are a dark brown, and the center is dry on top, but not entirely firm.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • When cool, cut into squares or wedges, depending on type of pan, and serve with dollops of whipped cream.
  • Feel free to experiment with other kinds of fruit!
