Eggless Pineapple Streusel

Dear Friends

At weekends,It was so boring and was seeing some fruits in fridge and on the table.What do I make something different in which we have not tasted it so far.Most we tasted are blueberry and strawberries. I keep  thinking whether pineapple is suitable for getting streusel crunchy cake on the top.It is part of Danish origin for streusel. I decided to make an egg-less pineapple cake  along with crunchy toppings of streusel and coconut milk.Here is my own recipe on my 1st attempt :) Have a try and make it at home.:)

Here are the ingredients:

8. Pineapple batter is ready.Meanwhile grease the square or round 9 inch pan with butter and dust it with flour to remove any excess.
9. Transfer the batter into the greased pan.
10. Under the topping ingredients,Take a bowl, combine all the ingredients except butter.whisk well. add cubed butters and work it with your fingers  or use pastry blender to make coarse crumbs.
11. Sprinkle the coarse crumbs evenly on the cake batter gently.Do not press hard.
12. Bake it  for about 30 to 35 minutes or until it is golden brown in color. Once the tooth pick comes out clean.Allow it to keep on the cooling rack.make sure its cooled down.
