@AnonymousI have used refined oil, goldwinner. Pineapple puree means ground pineapples.

Hi aarthi if i dont have cup cases can i pour direct?n do we need to preheat n bake at 180 degree same as we do for cakes
Aarthi
@Dr Shipra Singhthese cakes are so moist, so you cannot pour directly. If you have a silicon you can do it like that
