Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 large pineapple, skinned, cored and cut into eight or nine 3/4-inch-thick slices
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
Juice from 1 large lime
2 teaspoons pink peppercorns

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat a 9-inch skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the slices of pineapple in a single layer and sprinkle the brown sugar over the fruit. Cook until the pineapple browns slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pineapple slices. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, vanilla, eggs and the remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to stir in the flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda until completely smooth. (The batter will be fairly stiff.) Pour the batter over the pineapple.
  • Transfer the skillet to the center of the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake emerges clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool for about 10 minutes before carefully unmolding onto a serving platter. (See Cook's Note.)
  • For the caramel: Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, lime juice and 1/4 cup cold water in a medium stainless saucepan. Stir in the pink peppercorns and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, then cook, 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. When the cake is unmolded, pour the caramel over the cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • If you want a sweeter cake, you can add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
  • For a richer cake, you can use butter instead of oil. Just be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the eggs.
  • If you want a more pronounced caramel flavor, you can use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.

Conclusion:

This caramel pineapple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a sweet and tangy pineapple filling. The caramel sauce adds a rich and decadent touch that takes the cake to the next level. Whether you are serving it to your family or friends, this cake is sure to be a hit.
