TIKTOK AIR FRYER PINEAPPLE TOAST
Despite the name, this pineapple toast doesn't have any pineapple in it. It's the golden, crackly pineapple skin-appearance that gives this dish its name. Soft and sweet with a buttery, crackly topping, this simple pastry has a contrast of textures you won't be able to resist. Inspired by a traditional, Hong Kong bakery-style bolo bao or pineapple bun, this recipe is a fun, easy twist on the Chinese sweet bun, adapted from cristina_yin on TikTok. Milk bread can be found in most Asian bakeries and makes for the softest, lightest base for this single-serve snack.

Steps:
- Preheat an air fryer to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a fork to blend the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Mix in flour and combine until smooth, reaching a cookie dough-like texture.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over the slice of milk bread, smearing until smooth. Use a knife to score the bread topping with criss-cross lines that resemble a pineapple skin. In a small bowl, beat the egg to form an egg wash. Carefully spread a thin layer over the bread topping.
- Cook the bread in the preheated air fryer for 4 minutes; turn up the air fryer temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Continue to cook bread slice until toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottoms of 3 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and grease with nonstick spray.
- Make the cake: Grate the carrots on the large holes of a box grater. You should have about 6 cups.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated carrots and buttermilk and stir until the carrots are completely coated.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose and whole wheat flours, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), combine the brown and granulated sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until the mixture drips from the whisk in ribbons, about 3 minutes.
- With the mixer running on medium speed, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through, if necessary. Continue mixing until the mixture is fully emulsified, about 2 minutes.
- Add ⅓ of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined. Add ½ of the carrot mixture and continue mixing on low speed until incorporated. Continue alternating adding the flour and carrot mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a flat rubber spatula to bring the batter together.
- Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and let cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, salt, and vanilla bean seeds until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until silky and smooth, about 4 minutes.
- Assemble the cake: Dab a bit of frosting on a cake board and place a cake layer on top. Scoop 1 cup of frosting onto the cake. Repeat with the remaining 2 layers. Use the remaining frosting to coat the top of the cake completely, leaving the sides naked.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
