Cake with pineapple and strawberry jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned pineapple for this recipe?

Yes, you can use fresh pineapple. Just ensure it's finely diced and well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the cakes.

What can I substitute for strawberry jam if I don't have any?

You can use any jam of your choice (like raspberry or apricot) or even a fruit preserve. For a less sweet option, try a thin layer of cream cheese.

How long do these pineapple-strawberry jam cakes stay fresh?

They are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly for freshness.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, just replace the puff pastry with a gluten-free puff pastry alternative available at most grocery stores.

How can I make these cakes egg-free for a vegan version?

Skip the egg yolk glaze or substitute it with a mix of maple syrup and non-dairy milk for a shiny finish.

Can I freeze these cakes for later use?

Yes, freeze them before baking. Assemble the cakes, then freeze on a tray before transferring to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes.

What’s the best way to serve these cakes for a party?

Serve them warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Can I make smaller or larger portions of this recipe?

Absolutely! Adjust the size by cutting the pastry into smaller or larger squares, keeping baking time proportional to size.

How can I prevent the jam from leaking out during baking?

Avoid overfilling and ensure the pastry edges are well-sealed with the 'flagella' strips to contain the jam.

Is there a low-sugar alternative for the glaze?

Yes, you can use a sugar-free powdered sweetener or simply omit the glaze for a less sweet version.
