Not much in the way of variation here. Oliver, Buenfeld and Lawson use the classic pound-cake formula of equal parts flour, butter, caster sugar and eggs; Kors adds two extra egg yolks in place of some of the butter, which gives his cake a certain soft heft; and Mandal uses half dark-brown sugar and half caster. I don’t want to cede any of the butter, because the flavour works so well with the fruit, but I am going to include some light-brown sugar to echo the caramel flavour on top. Buenfeld and Mandal both add baking powder to their self-raising flour, which is a good way to ensure really fluffy results (I prefer plain flour, so I’ve added an extra teaspoon to that instead).

The more yellow a pineapple is, the riper it is, so avoid greener fruit if you can. The pineapple flavor is mild since it comes only from the pineapple juice in the cake batter and the frosting. If you want an even bigger burst of pineapple flavor, I recommend serving this with a wedge of fresh pineapple to enjoy with bites of cake. It also makes a beautiful presentation. Homemade Pineapple soda: For a drink the kids will love, just mix a little of this syrup into seltzer water for an instant homemade soda.

Pineapple also delivers some fiber (2.3 grams in 1 cup, per the USDA), which can help you control your blood sugar level and eat less because it keeps you feeling full, according to the Mayo Clinic. In fact, research from 2022 showed that increased fiber intake was associated with reduced body weight and body fat percentage. Not only is it the smarter choice for your body, but it is also the smarter choice for the planet. Florida Crystals boasts some of the most eco-friendly farms in the nation leveraging technology, natural pest control (barn owls) and crop rotation to ensure that the sugar they produce is sustainable and has minimal impact on the environment Mandal goes down a different, spicier route with cardamom, chilli and ginger powders, and chopped stem ginger, which gives his sponge a distinct and pleasant warmth that puts us in mind of a rather fancy Jamaica ginger cake.

French Martini Glace or maraschino cherries are a more recent addition; earlier recipes seem to have preferred nuts such as the pecans in Michael Kors’ version (yes, that Michael Kors; it was published in Vogue, which is not my normal point of reference for this column, but I like to think I leave no stone unturned in my quest for perfection). It’s hard to match the flash of colour that cherries offer, but feel free to leave out the cherries, and/or use nuts, prunes, apricots or other dried fruits instead, if you prefer. Pecans may not look as pretty, but they do add a satisfying crunch.

Make the pineapple frosting by beating softened butter and lemon zest together, gradually adding powdered sugar. Then add enough lemon and pineapple juice to get a smooth, spreadable consistency and beat until light (about 3 minutes). It makes just enough frosting to cover the cake.

lemon - I like adding a bit of fresh lemon juice to my fruity simple syrups to bring out the flavor of the fruit that is added. Additionally, lemon juice helps prolong the freshness of the syrup.
