I made these as written except substituted almond flour for the coconut and made in a mini muffin pan. Very tasty! They popped right out of the pan and looked like pretty little cakes.

Really very delicious. Initially I was concerned that oats (had to blitz my own) would make super heavy sponges, especially when I saw the numbly texture of the batter. However I’m very pleased to say that they’re much lighter than expected with an addictive moist chewiness. Teamed with the flavours of the coconut sugar, pineapple pulp and desiccated coconut the dessert is a winner!

In reply to Vivian. I'd cook them on 375°F for probably about 13 - 15 minutes or until they are well risen, starting to come away from the sides a bit and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean. It is a guess though as I don't have mini muffin pans so have never tried it so keep an eye on them towards the end just in case.

Hi,

I want to make mini cakes (using mini cupcake tines). What do you recommend for timing/temp?

Thanks,
Vivian

In reply to Kleanthis @ Yumbles.

I hope it does! My recipe makes 6 muffins and a muffin hole is about 1/2 a cup so once cooked the batter fills about 3 cups total. An 8 inch wide, 2 inch deep round pan has a volume of about 6 cups so I think you would need to double this recipe to fill one. If your cake pan is a different size check here https://www.cooksinfo.com/baking-pans-by-volume because it lists the volumes of all the different size cake pans. Then you can scale up accordingly. With all of my recipes, if you hover over the amount of servings a little bar pops up that you can slide to increase the servings. It then adjusts all of the ingredient amounts accordingly to save you having to work it out. I hope that helps!

Pineapple upside down cake was a personal favourite made by my grandma. Hopefully this recipe will awaken many childhood memories. What quantities should I use if I want to make a proper cake out of this recipe?

In reply to Aparna. Ah! I saw your pictures on Instagram but didn't realize you used the cake to make the lamingtons. I thought that was a different recipe. What a brilliant idea and how creative! You can't share pictures in the comments here which is a shame. Thank you so much for leaving feedback. I really appreciate it!

I made this pineapple cake (without the pineapple topping) and cut them into pieces ,dipped them in a chocolate sauce and rolled them over shredded coconut to form nice mini lamingtons.They turned out wonderful.I have the pictures but not sure how to share them in the comments section.
Thanks for all the wonderful vegan recipes.Keep them coming !

This simple recipe was made by my tween to my delight! We made a double batch with purchased oat flour and canned pineapple. In one pan we used large cupcake liners which made cleanup a bit easier. I didn't think I'd like the coconut, but it gave a little crunch . Warm or cold, these little cakes are naughty! :-) I may not wait for my daughter to whip up another batch. I think Mommy needs another treat. Thank you Mel!
