Preparation steps

Flavored syrup

Step 1
Start by making the syrup in which the pineapple will be immersed. This step should be carried out at least 3 hours beforehand, to allow the pineapple to absorb the flavours of the syrup. Ideally, this step should be carried out the day before.
Place the water, sugar and spices in a saucepan (for the vanilla pod, cut it in half and remove the seeds, placing them in the syrup along with the pod).
Bring to the boil and boil for 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stop cooking and add rum.
Step 3
When the syrup has cooled, add the roughly chopped pineapple pieces.
Be sure to remove the pineapple's eyes and core.
Set aside in a cool place.

Soft cake

Step 4
Place the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl and whisk briskly until frothy.
Step 5
Add flour, cornstarch and baking powder.
Mix again.
Step 6
Finally, add the milk. The dough should be smooth and homogenous
Step 7
Drain the pineapple pieces and place them in the moulds.
Step 8
Add the dough, but do not fill the cavities to the top. Leave a space of about 1 cm.
