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.

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:

  • Choose ripe pineapples: The best pineapples for upside-down cake are ripe and juicy. Look for pineapples that are golden yellow in color and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best pan for making pineapple upside-down cake. It distributes heat evenly and helps to create a crispy, caramelized crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Let the cake cool before inverting it: Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.

Conclusion:

Pineapple upside-down cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give pineapple upside-down cake a try.
