Grilled Pineapple Ricotta Cake, simple
Simple Grilled Pineapple Ricotta Cake is a fun cake to serve for breakfast or dessert. Fluffy, simple to prepare and of full juicy pineapple.
We are counting down the days.
Hours.
Minutes and seconds.
We haven’t been able to focus on much of anything lately, which is terrible because our front and backyard are looking jankity. We should probably turn on our sprinkle system, pull weeds, and plant a few herbs before it’s July. But our urgency to do these things is at an all time low. We walk up our beige front porch steps, take a look around, and say, “Meh.” Who does that?!!
Clearly, we have a case of tunnel travel vision (oh, it’s a thing). Or, at least it feels like a thing because we haven’t been able to stop thinking about our upcoming trip to Scotland. We are leaving over Memorial weekend and spending over a week visiting different cities such as Oban, Inverness, Perth, and Edinburgh.
This is our first international press trip. We're working with the Scotland Board of Tourism and even though we are excited about the trip, we're a little nervous about execution. One of the things they want to see is Snapchat coverage and we have never attempted it on foreign soil. SO! If you have any Snapchat tips and tricks let us know! Also, if you have been to any of these said cities, we'd love to hear recs on things to see, do, and eat! AND BREATHEEEEEE.
Now, before we get all flustered and completely ignore our outdoor duties, we can’t forget to tell y’all about this cake. We adore pineapple. If you pile a fruit mixture on our plate, it’s the first to be consumed. Well, naturally we thought why not take this juicy fruit and add it to a cake. This Simple Grilled Pineapple Ricotta Cake is going to be the summer cake of 2016. We might say that about all cakes, but this cake takes the cake. It’s fluffy, just the right about of sugary goodness, and topped with grilled pineapple. We mean life just doesn’t get any better, folks.
Well, until you realize that turning on your sprinkle system only takes 2.2 nano seconds. #sendhelp
