Ingredients

  • 115g/4oz raisins
  • 115ml/4fl oz rum
  • 400ml/14fl oz full-fat milk
  • 8 free-range egg yolks
  • 200g/7oz light soft brown sugar
  • 400ml/14fl oz double cream
  • 175g/6oz golden syrup
  • 325g/12oz butter
  • 1 x 1.5kg/3lb 4oz medium pineapple
  • 275g/10oz caster sugar
  • 5 free-range eggs
  • 275g/10oz self-raising flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
  • Line the sides and bottom of a 26cm/10in cake tin with greaseproof paper, making sure there is no gap for the syrup to leak through. Place onto a shallow baking sheet.
  • Heat the golden syrup and 50g/2oz of the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat until melted. Pour into the bottom of the cake tin. Place the pineapple rings on top, pressing 6 around the outside and 1 in the centre. Finely chop the remaining pineapple and set aside.
  • Beat the sugar and the remaining butter together in a bowl and until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each egg. Fold in the flour. Stir in the chopped pineapple until well combined.
  • Spoon the cake mixture over the pineapple rings in the tin and tap to settle the mixture.
  • Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes, or until or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and set aside to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Invert the cake onto a large plate and peel off the greaseproof paper. Serve.
