Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease a 30x20cm baking tin lined with parchment.
  • Spread 2 tablespoons of agave nectar on the tin base and arrange pineapple rings with cherries.
  • Sift flour and salt into a bowl, making a well for melted butter, agave, and eggs.
  • Fold the mixture gently and pour over the fruit, smoothing the top with a spoon.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes at 170°C until a skewer comes out clean.
  • Cool in the tin for 5 minutes before turning out onto a rack and drizzling with agave.
  • Heat milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and seeds in a saucepan until almost boiling.
  • Beat egg yolks and cornflour together, then temper with ladles of the hot milk mixture.
  • Return the mixture to the pan and stir over medium heat until thickened.
  • Serve slices of cake with the warm custard poured over.
