Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt

  • ¼ cup canola oil

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ½ cups diced fresh or canned pineapple chunks, blotted dry and coarsely chopped

  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.

  3. Whisk egg, yogurt, oil and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just blended. (Do not overmix.) Fold in pineapple. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.

  4. Combine pecans and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the batter.

  5. Bake the cake until the top is golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm.

  6. Variations

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
