PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 20-ounce can sliced pineapple,
2 tablespoons juice reserved (drink the rest!)
1 1/3 cups packed light brown sugar
Maraschino cherries, stemmed (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, 1/2 stick butter, the shortening, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed-you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and layer the pineapple slices over the top. If desired, place maraschino cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and gently spread to even out the top. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 mini Bundt cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

One 3 1/2-pound pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces* (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons pineapple juice plus 2/3 cup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 egg whites
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
One 18.25-ounce box white cake mix (recommended: Betty Crocker Super Moist)

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lower 1/3 of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter and flour a mini Bundt pan.
  • For the Cakes: Place the pineapple in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet, combine the chopped pineapple, 2 tablespoons pineapple juice, sugar, and butter over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until the liquid evaporates and the mixture begins to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Spoon the pineapple mixture into the prepared pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites, water, vegetable oil, almond extract, cake mix, and 2/3 cup pineapple juice. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour the batter over the cooked pineapple. Bake for 28 to 30 minutes until the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the pan and the tops are golden. Allow the cakes to cool for 15 minutes. Place a piece of parchment paper on top of the cakes. Put a baking sheet, upside-down, on top of the parchment paper. Flip both pans over and allow the cakes to cool completely while still in the Bundt pan, about 1 hour. Unmold the cakes and place on individual serving plates.

Tips:

    - Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor and texture. - Be sure to core and slice the pineapple rings evenly so that they cook evenly. - Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat before adding the pineapple rings. This will help to prevent the pineapple from sticking to the pan. - Cook the pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and caramelized. - Make sure the cake batter is smooth and lump-free before pouring it over the pineapple rings. - Bake the cakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before inverting them onto a serving plate. - Serve the cakes warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of sour cream.
