An easy way to make tapioca flour is by grinding old fashion pearl tapioca in a coffee

grinder (see the "Glossary of Ingredients" for more information on making or buying tapioca

flour)

Refer to the "Cake Notes" earlier in this book for information about making cakes

(

including the methods used to make this a more "decadent" cake and other methods if you

want to make a cake lower in fat)

PINEAPPLE TOPPING

tablespoons walnut oil refined

tablespoons maple syrup

/ cup walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoons applesauce unsweetened

/ cups maple syrup

/ tablespoons vanilla extract

ounces coconut milk (or water)

/ cup water

tablespoons brown rice syrup

ounces fresh pineapple sliced into rings

(

about large /inch rings)

teaspoons orange zest chopped

from one orange)

/ teaspoon ground cinnamon

(

FILLING

cup fresh pineapple chopped fine

CAKE

tablespoon brown rice syrup

teaspoons orange zest chopped

(from one orange)

cups brown rice flour (or spelt flour)

/ cups sorghum flour (or spelt flour)

tablespoons tapioca flour

teaspoons ground cinnamon

GARNISH

teaspoon citrus zest in long thin strips

(from half of a citrus fruit)

/ teaspoon sea salt

tablespoon baking powder (double acting)

PINEAPPLE TOPPING

In a saucepan over medium heat add walnut oil maple syrup and brown rice syrup Mix together and heat for

about minutes Add pineapple orange zest and cinnamon and coat pineapple with mixture Heat minute and

remove from heat

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C) Oil two inch round spring form pans (it is also possible to use

one inch by inch pan) Put parchment paper in the bottom of the pans and oil again For more information

about pans and about the use of parchment paper for extremely easy cake turn out refer to the Cake Pan/

Parchment Paper discussion in the "Cake Notes" at the beginning of this chapter

Lay out the one layer of pineapple slices in the bottom of one of the pans on top of the parchment paper Do not

pour extra liquid that remains in the sauce over the pineapple instead reserve this liquid for use in garnishing and

serving the cake Also if there are too many pineapple slices save those for garnish as well

CAKE

Sift dry ingredients together Combine liquids then stir into the flour mixture Pour half of the mixture into the

pan with pineapple topping and the other half into the other prepared cake pan

Bake for minutes (longer if using one inch by inch pan) Test to be sure the cakes are finished: the cakes

should slightly pull away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out fairly

clean (not wet with batter clinging to it) Also be careful not to overbake the cakes because they can become too

dry and dense in this case
