This was very tasty! I made it in a 10-inch springform pan and used the maximum amount of cooking time and it turned out nicely. It probably needed several hours to cool, but I only had about 90 minutes so I put it in the refrigerator and that did the trick. My can of pineapple yielded 1 cup of juice so I did not use the water, and I used unsweetened applesauce. I would make this again when cooking for vegans or if I wanted a lower-fat cake!

hii :) this is the my version. instead of lemon, I used white vinegar. and instead of applesauce, I used canola oil. and I substituted pineapple chunks with 1 can 398 mL crushed pineapple (crushed pineapple pressed and drained). I also used 1 cup (or 236 mL) juice from the crushed pineapple liquid. and 237 g flour. and I also use 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup unpacked light brown sugar (mix and cooked in a sauce pan). baked at 350 F for 50 minutes. for the pan, u need to grease and flour it.. on this photo, the recipe is x2...... i hope that helps someone who is struggling to make this vegan pineapple cake :):) (JOHN 3:16)
