PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs
One 20-ounce can sliced pineapple plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
Maraschino cherries, as needed, stemmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, granulated sugar, milk, shortening, baking powder, vanilla, salt, eggs, pineapple juice and 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed--you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat, layer the pineapple slices over the top and add cherries to the middle of the pineapple slices. Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and gently spread to even out the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm, but room temperature is fine too.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
9 slices canned pineapple in juice, drained
5 maraschino cherries
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup solid vegetable shortening
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the butter in an 8-by-8-by-2-inch square baking pan and set it over low heat to melt. When melted, sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer on top of the sugar, making 3 rows. Cut the maraschino cherries in half, and place one half, cut-side up, in the center of each pineapple ring. Set the pan aside.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt, then sift once more. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, mix together the shortening, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir only enough after each addition to combine.
  • Pour the batter carefully into the pineapple-lined baking pan and bake for 40 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center or pressing the cake lightly with a fingertip; if the impression springs back, the cake is done. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and place a serving dish on top. Invert the cake onto the serving dish. Leave the pan inverted over the cake for several moments to allow the syrup to soak into the cake.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE FROM SCRATCH



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake from Scratch image

This is an old-fashioned upside-down cake recipe from my German grandmother from scratch. She used this same cake batter for many different fruits as an alternative to pineapple. She often used fresh Italian prunes or pitted fresh cherries. My grandparents owned a bakery and this cake was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Pineapple Dessert Recipes

Time 1h10m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 (1/2 inch thick) slices fresh pineapple, quartered
12 frozen cranberries
⅔ cup white sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
¾ cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch diameter, 2 1/2-inch tall round cake pan.
  • Stir brown sugar and melted butter together in a bowl. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Place pieces of pineapple on top of brown sugar mixture and around the outer edge of the pan, all facing the same way. Place 2 pieces in the center. Place a cranberry between each pineapple piece.
  • Beat white sugar and softened butter together using an electric mixer in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Pour in baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup milk to batter at a time, mixing well after each batch until thoroughly blended.
  • Pour batter over pineapple slices, making sure batter gets between them. Spread and smooth batter using an offset spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Remove cake from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen. Place a plate over the cake pan and quickly invert, waiting a few seconds for it to fall if it doesn't immediately separate from the pan.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the cake a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned pineapple.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan helps to create a beautiful, evenly-baked cake.
  • Glaze the cake while it's still warm: This will help the glaze to soak into the cake and give it a shiny finish.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious and creamy touch to the cake.

The pineapple right-side-up snack cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion.
