Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C. Grease a 2ltr Bundt tin. Blend ¼ of the pineapple in a food processor until smooth and set aside.
- Cream together 200g butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually whisk in the eggs. Fold in the processed pineapple, both the self raising flour and plain flour, baking powder, mixed spice, ginger and lime zest.
- Pour into the Bundt tin and bake for 35 mins, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in the tin.
- Fry remaining pineapple in the remaining butter until golden and caramelised.
- To make the syrup, melt the butter and sugar in a pan. Boil for 2 mins or until a golden caramel colour, then stir in the lime juice and tequila off the heat.
- Turn the cake out of the tin. Prick the surface with a skewer and spoon over some of the syrup. Arrange pineapple pieces on the top and sprinkle the cake with lime zest, then pour over the remaining syrup.
