Upside-Down Gingerbread With Cranberries and Pineapple image

This cake reminds me of "Little Women," because it makes me feel old-fashioned and cozy with the ginger smell. My daughter enjoyed it very much and my husband said he likes it better than regular pineapple upside-down cake.

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pecans or 1/4 cup walnuts
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon maple extract (optional)
1 egg, slightly beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter.
  • Spread in bottom of ungreased 8 or 9inch square pan.
  • (Despite the recipe saying"ungreased" I like to lightly spray it with Pam, since when I didn't, a bit of the topping stuck to pan).
  • Arrange pineapple, cranberries, and nuts over sugar mixture.
  • In large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
  • Add all remaining gingerbread ingredients and blend well.
  • Pour batter evenly over pineapple, cranberries, and nuts.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm with whipped cream.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The gingerbread was too dry and the cranberries were too tart.

Not bad, but not great either. I think I'll stick to my regular gingerbread recipe.

I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. I think it could be improved with more detailed instructions.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my gingerbread didn't turn out as moist as I expected.

This upside-down gingerbread is a great way to use up leftover cranberries and pineapple.
