Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 cups chopped fresh pineapple
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole milk
Cherry Glaze, for topping, recipe follows
1/2 cup cherry preserves
2 tablespoons pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pineapple and brown sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is slightly softened and golden brown, about 6 minutes.
  • Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the remaining 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk and then the remaining flour, beating just until incorporated.
  • Divide the caramelized pineapple among six 8-ounce Mason jars, pressing with a spoon to compact the pineapple slightly. Divide the batter among the jars (a little over 1/3 cup per jar).
  • Set the jars on a baking sheet and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool slightly.
  • Top each jar with a spoonful of Cherry Glaze.
  • Add the cherry preserves and pineapple juice to a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the jam cooks down slightly.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Pineapple Upside Down Cake image

This recipe is by far the best Pineapple Upside Down cake that I've ever made. It is also quick and easy. The cake is very moist and rises much higher than the average recipe. The combination of pineapple cake mix and pineapple juice isn't overwhelming either. I've been meaning to edit this for ages, however it looks so much better if you use dark brown sugar. Also if you'd like more topping, use 3/4 cup butter with 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 2h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
One 20-ounce can pineapple rings, drained and patted dry (10 rings)
19 brandy-soaked cherries, drained
1 1/2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • For the topping: Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pie plate with butter. Sprinkle the butter with the brown sugar. Use clean hands to cover the base and sides of the pie plate with the butter sugar mixture. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on the base of the pie plate. Cut the remaining 3 rings in half and place them in the openings on the sides of the pie plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and in the empty spaces between the pineapple rings. Place the pie plate in the fridge while you make the batter.
  • For the cake: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
  • Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding another. When the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla and orange zest and mix until combined.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the mixer, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the chilled pie plate. Place the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake until the juices are bubbling and the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and carefully flip the cake over, inverting it onto the plate. Cool the cake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Provided by Garlicgoddess84

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus
9 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, cut in half lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 1/2 cups pastry flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
3 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup and evenly coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch glass pie plate with the mixture. Arrange pineapple on top.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and thoroughly mix. In another bowl, whisk together the softened butter, sour cream, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer at medium speed about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until thick and smooth. Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly over the fruit, building up the outside edges so the cake will be level when baked.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes clean. Transfer to a rack to cool 3 to 5 minutes (no longer) and then invert onto a serving plate, repositioning the fruit as necessary.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pineapples: Using ripe pineapples will ensure that your cake is moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a glass baking dish: A glass baking dish will allow you to see the cake as it bakes and will also help to create a caramelized crust on the bottom of the cake.
  • Serve the cake warm: Pineapple upside-down cake is best served warm. You can reheat it in the microwave or oven if necessary.
