Ingredients
30 wonton wrappers
1 lb Monterey Jack cheese, cut into 1/2 to 1 1/2-inch strips
Green chilies and hot green chiles, cut into strips
Oil, for frying
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 minced jalapeño
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Prep the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or bundt pan. Optionally, sprinkle coconut or chopped pecans in the pan for added crunch.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the pineapple juice and crushed pineapple, mixing until fully combined.
- Combine and Bake: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Glaze: Allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack. In the meantime, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for a glossy finish.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use coconut yogurt.
Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced variation.
For a keto-friendly cake, use almond flour and erythritol instead of regular flour and sugar.
For an added tropical flavor, consider adding coconut flakes or using coconut milk in place of oil.
