Re: pineapple upside down cake

because you lay the pineapples at the bottom of the baking pan, add the batter on the top, bake it and when baked plate it upside down....

Re: pineapple upside down cake

Yeah Id get a box of Betty crocker or Duncan hines pineapple flavor cake mix, 1 can of sliced pineapple, brown sugar & butter.
Melt about 1/4 cup butter in the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle an even layer of brown sugar on top of that. Then layer drained pineapple slices on top. You may even add maraschino cherries in between each sliced pineapple. Then add the cake batter and bake. Once its cooked spray out whip cream over the top of the cake ...gives cake a more rich flavor...let it cool a few minutes. Loosen the sides and flip the cake onto a pan. Delicious with a side of ice cream or frozen yogurt :)

Re: pineapple upside down cake

the trick is that you place the pineapple within the cake batter so when you fold in little pieces of pineapples, you do so gently.
if u want to place a whole ring slice on the bottom, which becomes the top, when the cake is brought down side up, then you should make sure there is a little thin film of wax paper on the pan base, so the pineapple does not get stuck and gets all gooey brown.

use the cake pan that open on the side.
and its base comes out from below, it will be easier to get the pineapple topped cake out on a tray that way.

best,

If you put butter and brown sugar at the bottom of the pan before placing the pineapple slices it never sticks dushi.
