Most delicious Pineapple Filling recipe for cakes.

I love this recipe. I grew up in Puerto Rico eating what became my most favorite cake ever. I used to asked my mother for this cake every year for my birthday. It was a very moist cake with pineapple filling and the frosting was called Suspiro. Even when I moved to Florida, she would send this cake to me. I didn’t care if it came in pieces. I just wanted my cake!

My Mom got sick and my favorite cake stop coming. So I decided to figure out this cake filling since I knew how to make the cake and the frosting.

After plenty of testing I figure out what was the closest to my memories of this cake filling.
I used canned pineapples for this recipe because they are always available. But at some point I will try to figure it out using fresh pineapple.

There you will find my tutorial on how to make this awesome Pineapple Filling recipe, along with many other cake recipes, icings and other cake related tutorials.
You can use this cake filling with any white or butter cake recipe. Here, I used a cream cheese cake. This filling is fast to make, delicious and can stay out of the fridge once it’s in the cake.

In Puerto Rico, we add simple syrup to make the cakes moist and delicious. Soon, I will share how to make this syrup along with the frosting used for this cake. You can also use my crusting buttercream recipe for this cake on special occasions; but when I’m home, I love to use a Suspiro frosting that complements it perfectly. I will do a tutorial for the Suspiro frosting since it has some complicated steps to be followed.

So for now, we will start with this delicious filling. You can store the leftovers of this filling in the fridge. As far as how long it last, that is a question I have yet to figure out. ‘It never lasted long enough to test how long it will last (lol).’ I would say that it lasts pretty long since it doesn’t have any eggs or dairy in it. Just remember when you are making this filling, as soon as it’s ready, you pour it into a mason jar that has been sterilized.

You can follow canning guidelines if you desire to save this for a longer period. Here is the link to the National Center for home Food preservation: http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html
