A delicious and fast way to get more E’s into a Drive Thru Sue’s life! This cute mini-cake makes a quick, breakfast or a nice afternoon snack with a Trimmy Light (page 430). Purists can use the oven baking option instead of the microwave. The cake comes close to your full 45 grams of carbs for an E meal, so it’s best not eaten as a dessert after an E meal. Drive Thru Sue’s can use a little bit of fat-free Reddi-wip on top of this cake, but it is so moist and full of flavor that it doesn’t really need it. This cake is great for our allergen-free Mamas, as it is both gluten- and dairy-free. If you’re budget conscious and prefer to not use any special ingredients, try the NSI option following; however, heads up, allergen-free Mamas: that version does include some dairy. This recipe is in the “Sweet Treats – Quick Single-Serve Cakes” section of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, page 290. This recipe makes 1 single-serve cake.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F if using it to bake the cake. Lightly coat a large coffee mug, oven-safe ramekin, or small baking dish with coconut oil spray.
- Drain the excess juice from the pineapple and put in the bottom of the coffee mug or ramekin (doesn’t matter if a little juice remains). Mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth and pour over the pineapple.
- Microwave the mug for 2 minutes 15 seconds, or bake the ramekin or small dish in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until top is just done.
- Place a small plate over the top of the mug/ramekin/baking dish, and flip upside down. The cake should plop out nicely with the pineapple on top.
