Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter
¾ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pineapple juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
½ small fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and sliced
½ cup butter
1 ¼ cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
¼ cup almond flour
½ cup white sugar
2 ⅛ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 large eggs
½ cup cold milk
1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar, pineapple juice, and rum. Cook until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place pineapple slices in the skillet in a single layer, covering sugar mixture completely. Set skillet aside.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in small skillet over low heat until butter begins to brown and releases a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes, being careful to not burn the butter. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Combine gluten-free flour and almond flour in a bowl. Mix in white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom until well combined. Whisk in eggs and cold milk; mix until just combined. Pour in melted butter from the small skillet and stir until batter is mixed thoroughly. Pour batter over pineapple slices in the 12-inch skillet. Use a spatula to smooth out surface and spread evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to bubble around the edges, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for 10 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the skillet. Place a large plate on top of the skillet and flip over, presenting the cake with pineapple slices on top. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

Yield 2 cakes, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups rice flour
3/4 cup Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Steps:

  • Melt the butter and divide between two 8" cake pans.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly to cover the butter (divided as well).
  • Next, arrange pineapple rings around the bottom of the pans, one layer deep (I had 5 rings per pan). Place a maraschino cherry into the center of each pinapple ring (and a few in the middle if you would like).
  • Prepare the cake mix as directed above. Pour the batter over the pineapple layer (dividing the batter between the two pans).
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees F (or as directed cake mix directions). Cool for 5 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a plate. Do not let the cake coo too much, or it will be stuck to the pan.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pineapples for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple is ideal, but canned pineapple can also be used. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cakes. Overcooked cakes will be dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before inverting them onto a serving plate. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature. They can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Conclusion:

These gluten-free mini pineapple upside-down cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. They're perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration. With their moist texture, sweet pineapple flavor, and caramelized sugar topping, these cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
