Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground clove
Wet Ingredients
  • 3/4 cups 100% pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1/3 cup avocado or olive oil
  • 1 large egg
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups 100% pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup fresh pomegranate arils
  • 1 cup whipped cream or yogurt (2 tbsp per slice)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" round cake pan.
  2. For the cake, in a medium bowl whisk all dry ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Add the dry to the wet and gently stir until evenly mixed. Pour into prepared cake pan.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick or fork come out mostly clean.
  4. While the cake is baking, simmer the pineapple juice in a wide, shallow sauce pan until reduced to ⅓ cup.
  5. After cake has cooled for 10-15 minutes, flip onto a serving dish. Distribute pineapple glaze with a basting brush all over the surface of the cake. Garnish with a touch of powdered sugar and pomegranate arils and serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or Greek yogurt.
