PINEAPPLE CAKE

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 pineapple cake (with leftover batter)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pineapple
One 15.25-ounce box vanilla cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar, plus more for serving
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, chopped
Whipped topping, for serving

Steps:

  • Carefully cut off the top of the pineapple and set it aside. With a large spoon, scoop out the core and flesh from the pineapple and the top crown. Discard the core, cut up the flesh into chunks and reserve with the juice. Dry out the hollow pineapple the best you can with a paper towel.
  • In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1 cup of the pineapple juice and 3/4 cup of the pineapple chunks. Pour the cake batter into the hollowed-out pineapple to fill it three-quarters of the way to the top. Reserve the leftover batter for another use (perhaps a second pineapple? Or cupcakes?!). Microwave on high until the cake is baked, about 10 minutes. A skewer should come out clean. Remove from the microwave with a kitchen towel because it's super hot on the outside, let cool for 15 minutes.
  • While the pineapple is cooling, make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the remaining pineapple chunks (you should have about 1/2 cup) and the brown sugar and microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Mix well with a spoon and let cool slightly.
  • Top the pineapple cake with the sugared pineapple, some whipped topping and chopped maraschino cherries. Sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar for the crunch and because it looks pretty. Serve with the pineapple crown on top. Find a long spoon and dig in!

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained, juice reserved
1 jar (6 oz) maraschino cherries without stems, drained
1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
Vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice, and arrange remaining cherries around slices; press gently into brown sugar.
  • Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Make cake batter as directed on box, substituting pineapple juice mixture for the water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
  • Bake 42 to 48 minutes (44 to 53 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake 5 minutes so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use frozen pineapple, but be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is a classic pairing for pineapple cake. It's tangy and sweet, and it complements the pineapple flavor perfectly.
  • Decorate the cake with pineapple slices or chunks. This will add a festive touch to your cake.

Conclusion:

Pineapple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. It's moist, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special cake to make, give pineapple cake a try!
