GRANULATED SUGAR:
- Granulated sugar gives color to your cake. Also, it makes your cake sweeter. Your cake will get moisture from adding it as well. Light brown sugar can also work for you here.
BAKING SODA:
- Baking soda will react with vinegar and pineapple to bake your cake properly. This is an important ingredient in your dessert recipe. Baking soda will also make your cake fluffy. Baking powder is an alternative idea. Use 3tsp of it if using it.
SALT:
- Your cake will taste better if you add it. Salt can also maintain any excess sweet flavor in your cake. Use kosher or sea salt as substitutes for this.
CRUSHED PINEAPPLE WITH JUICE:
- Pineapple is the main flavor in your dessert. Your cake will become moist from using it. Pineapples are naturally sweet, so they will make your dessert sweet too. Chop some fresh pineapple and use that with its juice for another alternative.
VEGAN MILK:
- Vegan milk will make a smooth batter for your cake. It also gives moisture to your dessert. You can add any kind of plant milk for this.
VEGETABLE OIL:
- Vegetable oil will help make your cake softer. You can add coconut oil instead of this.
APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:
- This vinegar will bake your cake easily. It reacts with baking soda to cook your dessert properly. You can also add white vinegar for this.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- The smell of your cake will get better from adding this. Vanilla extract will improve the flavor of your dessert. Add almond extract if you need a different flavor.
SHREDDED COCONUT:
- Your cake will feel more tropical if you use this. Shredded coconut will also help make the texture of your dessert better. Another idea for your cake can be dried pineapple (chopped).
CHOPPED WALNUTS:
- Here you can also use pecans. But walnuts will make your cake rich and crunchy. Almonds are also another option to add.
