What’s a ‘soak’ cake? You might ask… Well, it’s similar to a Tres Leches cake. I start with an easy pineapple cake, and then SOAK the baked cake with a milk/ caramel sauce.

It makes for a delicious, dense, yet moist, pineapple cake

I top it all off with some whipped cream, or ice cream. Or both. 😉

 The cake is really simple. The only wet ingredient is the pineapple and it’s juice. No eggs here.

Which gives you a great dessert option if you, or your friend/ family, can’t have eggs.

The sauce that goes over the cake is simply butter, evaporated milk and sugar. It soaks into the hot, baked cake.

Filling in all the nooks and crannies, giving you a super moist, and slightly sticky, dessert that everyone loves.

This is always a hit at our family gatherings. And I love it because it’s so easy. You don’t even have to frost it!
