HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Hawaiian Pineapple Upside Down Cake image

On my way to a Hawaiian-themed party, all I could think of was Pineapple Upside Down Cake. The recipes did not seem Hawaiian enough. The additions of coconut, banana and macadamia nuts brought the tropics to the recipe. I can't tell you how many people raved at the party. The whole cake is gone.

HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE CAKE



HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE CAKE image

Categories     Fruit     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup date sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup mashed pumpkin or sweet potatoes (may use canned or fresh cooked)
1 8-oz can crushed pineapple packed in own juice, undrained
1/2 cup pineapple or orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
CASHEW NUT TOPPING
1 1/3 cups raw cashew nuts
1 cup soy milk, unsweetened
1/2 cup dates, pitted
DECORATION (optional)
organic strawberries, sliced
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained

Steps:

  • Combine the flour, date sugar, and baking soda, and stir to mix well. Stir in the pumpkin, crushed pineapple, incuding the juice, and the pineapple or orange juice, vanilla extract and walnuts. Lightly spray a 9 X 13" pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in cake comes out clean. While cake is baking, make the topping by blending the nuts & then adding the soy milk and dates and blending until smooth. When cake is done, remove from oven and let cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert cake onto the cooling rack. When completely cool, carefully move cake to a flat dish and spread cashew nut "icing" on top & sides. If you desire, you may decorate with fresh strawberries and crushed pineapple (make sure to drain the pineapple well). Note: This cake may be made in a heart-shaped pan, but will have to remain in oven for 40 minutes. If you don't have a heart-shaped pan but would like to have a heart-shaped cake, you may divide the batter between an 8-inch round pan and an 8-inch square pan. When cakes are done, cool for 10 minutes in pans & then invert them onto a cooling rack. When completely cool, keeping cakes inverted, cut circle cake in half and place each half of circle on connected sides of the square cake, making a heart shape. Spread a thin layer of topping between the touching sides of cake to help them stay together and then spread the rest of the topping over the entire cake and decorate with strawberries & crushed pineapple, if desired. Note: This cake is good even without the "icing".

SAUCE:
7 ounces butter
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
5 1/2 ounces dark brown sugar, about 3/4 cup
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 pound cake flour, about 4 cups
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
7 ounces milk
2 pounds fresh pineapple, diced small
1 1/4 pounds butter
1 pound brown sugar, about 2 1/4 cups

Steps:

  • Spray 18, 4 ounce molds with cooking oil spray. Sauce: Heat butter and sugar over medium heat and bring to boil, stirring so sugar doesn't burn. Pour 2 tablespoons into each mold; chill 1 hour.

Fold in milk and vanilla. Arrange pineapple slices over glaze in molds. Top with 1/4 cup batter. Bake 17 to 18 minutes. Turn molds over on plates and un-mold cakes. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, gather all your ingredients and equipment. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use fresh or canned pineapple: Fresh pineapple is ideal, but canned pineapple can also be used. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator: The cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
