Due to the fact I had accidentally opened a can of crushed pineapple instead of the cubed stuff (for kebabs), I needed to use it up, so Googled + discovered this. So easy to make - just using a mixing bowl, fork and I only had two little loaf tins available so baked cake in them. Used convect bake, so cut cooking time by about 7 minutes. Cake was tasty and moist and I had one without a topping and added a buttercream topping to the other. A recipe to save.
