This is one of the cake I baked and decorated for my friend on her special occasion who is pure vegetarian, so opt to egg less version. It has moist and fluffy texture and it doesn't take much of effort and time to make this cake and best option for eggless cake.

For Pineapple filling:
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 12 ~ 15 minutes
Yield: 2 ~ 2 ½ cups
Adapted from here

½ tsp salt
3 tbsp cornstarch
½ ~ 1 cup sugar to taste
1 tbsp sugar
1-20 oz cans crushed pineapple with juice.
3 tbsp butter
Method:
1. In heavy saucepan combine cornstarch, all of the sugar and salt.
2. Add pineapple with juice and mix well.
3. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a bubbling boil, stirring constantly.
4. Once mixture comes to a boil continue stirring constantly for approximately 5 minutes, or until thickened and its looses it's "milky" look.

For Whipping Cream
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Got this recipe from my Wilton Instructor
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups heavy or whipping cream
3 tbsp granulated sugar
¾ tsp vanilla extract
Method:
1. Chill bowl and whisk in the refrigerator for minimum 15 minutes. Beat cream sugar and vanilla using chilled bowl until stiff peaks forms. Now its ready to frosting.
Layering the cake
1. Fill the whip cream frosting in the piping bag. Create a outline over the top of one cake with the frosting. Then fill the pineapple sauce, inside the piped frosting. This piped frosting will help preventing the filling oozing out from the cake.
2. Place the second layer on the filled cake and frost the side of the cakes and decorate as your wish.
