PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN BUNDT CAKE RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Pineapple Upside-Down Bundt Cake Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 16

Topping:
1 (20 oz) can pineapple slices in juice, drained then cut in half and drained on paper towels
1 (10 oz) jar maraschino cherries, drained well on paper towels
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
Cake:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 extra large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Generously grease and flour* a 12-cup Bundt cake pan. Pour melted butter in the bottom of pan and crumble the brown sugar over it. Arrange the pineapple pieces upright (rounded side down) in the bottom of the Bundt pan (over the butter and brown sugar), pressing them down lightly. Place a cherry between each pineapple slice, pressing down lightly. Set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a separate large mixing bowl, and using a hand mixer, cream the butter until fluffy. Slowly beat in the sugar while the mixer is running on low speed. After all the sugar has been blended, increase mixer speed to medium and beat until fluffy. Beat in the oil, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Using low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk in three additions, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until each addition is incorporated. Do not overmix. Pour the batter into the pan on top of the pineapple and cherries. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 and continue baking about 20 additional minutes, or until center tests done with a wooden toothpick. Remove cake from the oven and cool in pan on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake from the pan with a thin bladed paring knife then carefully invert cake onto a serving plate. Cool completely on the wire rack. Serve with or without whipped cream or whipped topping. *NOTE* I used a homemade cake pan release instead of greasing and flouring. Simply mix together equal parts of melted and slightly cooled vegetable shortening, vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour. Generously brush the inside of cake pan with the mixture. (I mixed 2 Tbls. each and had plenty to brush over the pan twice).

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN BUNDT CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 (20-ounce) can pineapple slices, juice reserved
1 jar maraschino cherries
1 box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4-ounce) box vanilla pudding mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup milk, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray. Evenly pour the melted butter into the bottom of the bundt pan and top with the brown sugar. Cut the pineapple rings in half and, alternating with the cherries, place into the butter-brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake and pudding mixes together. Add the reserved pineapple juice and milk. Add the eggs and vegetable oil, and mix until fully blended. Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries. Bake for 30 minutes, following the cake mix instructions for a bundt pan, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cake for about 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inner ring of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate and slice between pineapple rings to serve. Tip: When you add the reserved pineapple juice and milk in step 4, they should equal 1 cup of liquid. If you like, you can first pour the reserved pineapple juice into a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk until you have 1 cup of liquid. Add the liquid to the combined cake-and-pudding mix, then proceed with the recipe.

1 box Duncan Hines yellow or pineapple cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Milk

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the cake a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned pineapple.
  • Slice the pineapple thinly: This will help it cook evenly and caramelize.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help the cake develop a golden brown crust.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the cake to cook through, so don't rush it.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it: This will help prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

Pineapple upside-down bundt cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With its moist, flavorful cake and caramelized pineapple topping, this cake is sure to be a favorite.
