The other day, I wanted to use up a can of Crushed Pineapple and I googled for cake recipes. Some American recipes came up, and again I was shocked at the amount of Sugar they required. Some recipes required 2 cups Sugar on top of 1 can Crushed Pineapple which is sweet. I added just 1/2 cup Sugar to the batter and made Muffins instead of one large cake. These Muffins were sweet enough for me. I added Shredded Coconut as I believe it adds a nice flavour and texture.
