PINEAPPLE-LIME IMPOSSIBLE CAKE



Pineapple-Lime Impossible Cake image

This version of an Impossible-style Cake has distinct layers of pineapple cake and lime flan, that magically separate while baking. The pineapple caramel topping is essential--and made after the cake has cooled--so be sure not to skip it. While this may not be traditional in flavor or cooking method for an Impossible Cake, it's definitely a delicious variation and well worth the extra effort. Prepare ahead: this needs to cool at least 4-8 hours.

Time 7h30m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) can fat-free evaporated milk
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices in juice, undrained
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
1 pinch salt
½ teaspoon grated lime zest
4 tart cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, lime juice, eggs, lime zest, salt, and vanilla extract for flan in a large bowl; whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Remove 4 pineapple slices and 1/2 cup pineapple juice from the can of pineapple. Cover and place in the refrigerator to reserve for the caramel topping.
  • Place remaining pineapple slices and juice in the bowl of a food processor; blend until smooth. This should result in approximately 1 1/4 cups pureed pineapple.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl until combined.
  • Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the pineapple puree until just combined. Continue adding dry ingredients alternately with pineapple puree, mixing until just combined. Place large spoonfuls of cake batter over the flan layer as evenly as possible; don't worry if they mix, they will separate during baking. Cover the Bundt® pan tightly with lightly greased aluminum foil and place it into a large roasting pan.
  • Place in the preheated oven and fill the roasting pan with enough water to come 1/3 of the way up the sides of the Bundt® pan, or at least 1 inch deep. Bake in the hot water bath until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove from the water bath, remove aluminum foil, and allow cake to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Carefully run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or platter and allow to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Loosely cover cake and place into the refrigerator for 4 hours to overnight.
  • Shortly before you are ready to serve the cake, combine butter and brown sugar for caramel topping in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring often, until bubbling and sugar has melted, about 2 minutes. Pour in reserved 1/2 cup pineapple juice; cook and stir until mixture is bubbling and thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes. Add reserved pineapple slices and cook, stirring the sauce frequently, about 3 minutes. Flip pineapple slices over; cook and stir until sauce has thickened and turned a slightly deeper golden brown color, about 3 minutes more.
  • Quickly and carefully place the pineapple slices on top of the cooled cake. Spoon caramel sauce over top of the pineapple slices and cake. Garnish with lime zest and cherries.

1 vanilla bean
8 ounces dark brown sugar, approximately 1 cup firmly packed
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Pinch kosher salt
1 whole pineapple
8 (12-inch) metal skewers

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE WITH PECANS



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake With Pecans image

By substituting pecans (or other nuts) for the usual maraschino cherries, this twist on a classic upside-down cake is less sweet and crunchier than the usual recipe. Caramelizing the brown sugar in a skillet before adding the fruit gives you a particularly deep, complex flavor. Because of the moisture in the topping, you'll need to bake this cake a little longer than other, similar butter cakes. Underbaked cake will be soggy and apt to fall apart, but an ideal result will have a well-browned surface and dark, slightly crunchy edges.

Time 1h

Yield 1 (10-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons/56 grams unsalted butter
1/3 cup/71 grams light brown sugar
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 pound peeled pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch slices (3 cups; see Tip)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup/118 milliliters sour cream or plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups/195 grams all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Make the topping: In an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, lemon juice and salt, and whisk until the brown sugar melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Let cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture starts to smell like caramel and darkens slightly, about 1 minute longer. (Don't walk away or the mixture may burn.) The mixture will clump and separate, but that's OK.
  • Add fruit and nuts, gently tossing to coat with the caramel. Remove from heat and arrange fruit into an even layer on bottom of skillet. Ignore any sugar clumps; they will dissolve during baking.
  • Make the cake: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest until thoroughly combined. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream and whisk until well mixed. Sprinkle in baking powder, baking soda and salt into the batter, one at a time, and whisking vigorously after each addition. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in flour until just incorporated. The mixture will be lumpy, but that's OK. Don't overmix. Scrape batter into the skillet over the fruit and spread evenly.
  • Bake until surface is deeply browned all over (with darker brown edges) and the fruit is lightly bubbling along the sides of the skillet, about 35 to 45 minutes, rotating halfway through. A toothpick inserted into cake will come out clean.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately run a butter knife or offset spatula along the edge of the skillet. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes to cool slightly. Carefully invert cake into serving platter. If some fruit or nuts stick to bottom of the skillet, gently remove them using offset spatula or knife and place back onto cake. Let cake cool until the fruit topping sets, at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, before serving. Cake is best served on the day it is baked.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and tender cake, use room temperature ingredients. This allows the ingredients to blend together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well before adding it to the batter.
  • For a more intense lime flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice. If using bottled lime juice, add a bit more to taste.
  • Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the cake. This helps the cake rise evenly and prevents it from sinking in the middle.
  • Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This pineapple lime impossible cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of pineapple, lime, and coconut flavors is refreshing and tropical, and the cake is moist and tender. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
