Okay so I have a request for a pineapple cake for a 5 tier wedding cake. So I tried to use a scratch yellow cake recipe with the lorann pineapple oil but it just wasn't right. It tasted "artificial" and flat like it was missing something. It had the pineapple flavor but it just tasted like candy or something, idk but if anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated!!!
Keep in mind the 5 tier issue, I thought about using crushed pineapple but figured it would be too moist and heavy.
HELP!!!
Either use the crushed pineapple - one small can to each cake mix &/or use pineapple juice as the liquid in the recipe.
I agree I usually do the above, and also add pineapple extract instead of vanilla. Have never used the oil flavoring before...but people rave about my pineapple cakes 
Okay so you've used crushed pineapple and never had any issues with it being too heavy??
No, to me it comes out lighter. Give it a try and see which one you like. That way you have a solid recipe that you're comfortable with.
