Time for a treat, what do you all say? This recipe is versatile and simple, a great addition to the must-bake-list. It is a perfect treat for a special tea time occasion. Heck, I just think it is a perfect treat for any-time-occasion. It’s Friday, that alone is enough reason to indulge…
I used fresh pineapple for this recipe, although you can use any other fruits you might have on hand like apples, guava or nectarines. A basic sponge cake is used with fruit pieces, then baked in the oven and smothered in a cream, vanilla and sugar sauce.
It is also one of those recipes that lasts a lifetime in the fridge, and it should taste most decadent after a few days of refrigeration.
I foresee that I might finish all of this in the not so distant future…
This Sticky Pineapple Tart is sticky, sweet, saucy and absolutely decadent. Let me know if you tried it out with other fruits! Enjoy!
