Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

From the Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook given to me in 1967. I have cut down on the sugar from the original 1 cup and use canola or vegetable oil now instead of the shortening. For parties, multiply measurements by 1.5 (except use 2 eggs) and bake in a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Yield 1 9" cake, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained (9 slices needed)
9 candied cherries (or maraschino cherries, drained)
1/3 cup walnut halves (or pecans)
1 egg
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon flavoring (optional)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 9 inch square pan or heavy 10 inch skillet.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter.
  • Arrange pineapple slices, cherries, and nuts in an attractive pattern on the brown sugar layer. Set aside.
  • Measure liquid ingredients into a bowl and beat for 1 minute.
  • Add dry ingredients, beat until blended smooth.
  • Pour batter gently over fruit, so as not to disturb your attractive pattern.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and the pineapple topping was too sweet.

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

This cake is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I always have a can of pineapple in my pantry, so I can make this cake anytime.

I had some trouble getting the cake out of the pan in one piece. I think I'll grease the pan more next time.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.
