Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. If you want a nut-free version, you can substitute the walnuts with sunflower seeds or simply omit them altogether. Make sure to mix the ingredients gently to keep the cake light and fluffy. Using ripe crushed pineapple enhances the natural sweetness of the cake.
