Un pastel jugoso, lleno de sabor tropical y cubierto con un glaseado suave y dulce. Perfecto para cualquier ocasión especial o simplemente para consentirte.
Ingredientes:
Para el pastel:
- 🍍 1 lata de piña en rodajas (sin escurrir) – El jugo de la piña aporta humedad y un sabor tropical único.
- 🍚 1 taza de harina de trigo – Proporciona estructura y ligereza al pastel.
- 🍬 1 ½ tazas de azúcar – Endulza y ayuda a lograr una corteza dorada perfecta.
- 🥚 2 huevos grandes – Añaden riqueza y ayudan a unir los ingredientes.
- 🧂 2 cucharaditas de bicarbonato de sodio – Actúa como agente leudante para que el pastel quede esponjoso.
Para el glaseado:
- 🧀 8 oz (225 g) de queso crema (ablandado) – Aporta un toque ácido y cremoso al glaseado.
- 🧈 1 barra de mantequilla (1/2 taza, ablandada) – Agrega riqueza y suavidad al glaseado.
- 🍯 2 tazas de azúcar glas – Endulza y mantiene el glaseado ligero y esponjoso.
- 🌸 2 cucharaditas de extracto de vainilla – Mejora el sabor del glaseado con una dulce nota de vainilla.
- 🥛 2 cucharadas de leche – Ayuda a ajustar la consistencia del glaseado para que sea fácil de untar.
Instrucciones:
1. Preparar el horno y el molde:
- Precalienta el horno a 180°C (350°F) .
- Engrasa y enharina un molde para pastel (de preferencia redondo o rectangular). También puedes forrar el fondo con papel pergamino para facilitar el desmoldado.
2. Mezclar los ingredientes del pastel:
- En un tazón grande, mezcla la harina , el azúcar , los huevos , la piña con su jugo y el bicarbonato de sodio .
- Bate hasta que todos los ingredientes estén bien combinados y la mezcla sea homogénea. No te preocupes si queda un poco líquida; esto es normal y contribuye a la textura húmeda del pastel.
3. Hornear el pastel:
- Vierte la mezcla en el molde preparado.
- Hornea durante 30-35 minutos , o hasta que al insertar un palillo en el centro, este salga limpio.
- Retira el pastel del horno y deja enfriar completamente en el molde antes de desmoldarlo.
4. Preparar el glaseado:
- En un tazón mediano, bate el queso crema y la mantequilla ablandados hasta que estén suaves y cremosos.
- Añade gradualmente el azúcar glas , tamizándolo para evitar grumos.
- Incorpora el extracto de vainilla y la leche , y sigue batiendo hasta obtener una consistencia suave y esponjosa. Si el glaseado está muy espeso, añade una cucharadita más de leche.
5. Decorar el pastel:
- Una vez que el pastel esté completamente frío, cúbrelo con el glaseado usando una espátula o cuchillo.
- Decora con rodajas de piña fresca o enlatada si lo deseas, para darle un toque tropical y elegante.
Consejos y Variaciones:
- Piña fresca: Si prefieres usar piña fresca, corta una piña en trozos pequeños y licúa parte de ella para obtener jugo. Usa aproximadamente 1 taza de jugo y 1 taza de trozos de piña.
- Nueces o coco rallado: Añade 1/2 taza de nueces picadas o coco rallado a la masa para darle un toque crujiente.
- Sin glaseado: Si prefieres algo más ligero, puedes omitir el glaseado y espolvorear azúcar glas por encima antes de servir.
- Versión vegana: Sustituye los huevos por una mezcla de linaza + agua (1 cucharada de linaza + 2.5 cucharadas de agua = 1 huevo), usa margarina vegetal en lugar de mantequilla y asegúrate de usar queso crema vegano para el glaseado.
