Chocolate pineapple cake

Here we have rich tropical freshness, the delicate coffee-soaked sponge biscuit and a gentle butter custard. That’s a real delight! The recipe is pretty simple, but the taste is really interesting. Can’t you already feel the crumbly delicate chocolate and a slight pineapple sourness?
