This is the Day to Day Cookery version by IM Downes. It is a beautiful cake, arguably better than the oven-baked version.

Time 18m

Yield 1 cake, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
3 slices canned pineapple
9 glace cherries
60 g butter or 60 g margarine
1/3 cup caster sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup self-raising flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon ginger, ground

Steps:

  • Grease an 18cm round dish and place a greased circle of paper in the base.
  • For the caramel, cream brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter and spread over base.
  • Arrange a slice of pineapple in the centre with half circles around it. Fill spaces with cherries.
  • For the cake mixture, beat 60g butter and sugar to a cream. Add egg and mix carefully without beating.
  • Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk and mix.
  • Pour mixture over caramel and fruit.
  • Cook on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) for 6-7 minutes or until just firm in the centre. (I had to put mine on for an extra 2 minutes and 50 seconds, it will vary according to your microwave).
  • Allow to stand for 2-3 minutes before turning out onto a plate.
  • Serve hot with custard or cream, or warm for morning tea.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was dry and crumbly.

The instructions were a bit unclear, but I eventually figured it out. The cake turned out well, but it wasn't anything special.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see how others would enjoy it.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I loved this cake. The pineapple topping was perfectly caramelized and the cake itself was so moist.

This pineapple upside-down cake is a real treat! It's moist and fluffy, with a delicious caramelized pineapple topping. I especially love the addition of the maraschino cherries, which add a pop of color and flavor.
