Set the cake aside to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and allow to cool completely. Meanwhile, bring the cream and remaining maple syrup to the boil in a saucepan.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, set over low heat. Once melted, stir in the maple syrup and hot sauce. Serve drizzled over the cakes.

Agave nectar and a maple syrup custard enhance and enrich natural pineapple sweetness in this cake. Who needs refined sugar? For this recipe you will need a deep 30x20cm/12x8in baking tin.
