When the mixture becomes too creamy, add flour and melted butter and mix with your hands gently. Put this mixture in a greased and flour dusted baking tray and bake it for 30-35 minutes at 200°C.

*.The oven has to be preheated so the cake would bake immediately.

Pineapple Topping & Filling:

Cut the sponge cake into two halves.Sprinkle or spray pineapple syrup on the bottom half. Apply the whipped cream on the bottom half with the help of a palette knife.

Decorate the cake as desired, using pineapple chunks or slices.

TIP: Dip palette knife in a hot water bowl, dry it, to apply cream  neatly :)
