Easy Pineapple Turnover Cake

What to do with a can of pineapples?
Pineapple turnover cake! What else!? :D

While the classic pineapple turnover cake calls for caramel brown sugar at the bottom (or up, when it's turned over), but I chose the easy one. I skipped that caramel part since I do not have brown sugar, and also to not make the cake too sweet.

This recipe is so simple. Took me about 15 mins to prepare and put in the oven. This cake is perfect for tea time or if you have some friends over, it makes a great dessert with tea/coffee at the end of the evening.
This is a keeper :D

Ingredients:
1 cup + 6 tablespoons self-raising flour
1/2 cup cornstarch (Maizena)
6 tablespoons ground almonds (almonds powder)

1/2 tsp salt
