Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Melt the butter. Brush a little bit of the butter on the inside of a 9-inch cake pan.
- Mix 5 tablespoons of the butter with the dark brown sugar and 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice. Place this mixture in the bottom of the cake pan. Arrange the pineapple rings on the brown sugar mixture in a decorative pattern (be creative). Set pan aside.
- Stir together the flour, salt, white sugar, and baking powder.
- Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until stiff but not dry.
- Beat two of the egg yolks until lemony yellow. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup pineapple juice, vanilla, and remaining melted butter. Add this mixture to the flour mixture. Gently fold in the egg whites. Pour batter over the top of the brown sugar and pineapple rings.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched with a finger, about 30 minutes. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes then cover pan tightly with a serving dish and invert so that the pineapple side is up.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Sift together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt into a bowl. Cut pineapple crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick wedges.
- Butter a 9-inch round cake pan (2 inches deep) lightly on side and generously on bottom of pan using 1/2 stick butter. Sprinkle all of brown sugar evenly over bottom and arrange pineapple over it, starting in center of pan and overlapping slices slightly.
- Beat together remaining stick butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes, then add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing just until batter is smooth.
- Spread batter evenly over pineapple and bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in pan on a rack, then invert cake onto a plate and remove pan. Cool to room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well.
- Brown the butter for a richer flavor. Be careful not to burn it.
- Use a 9-inch round cake pan for this recipe. A larger pan will make the cake too thin.
- Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the cake. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
Conclusion:
This pineapple upside-down cake is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone. It is moist and flavorful, with a caramelized pineapple topping that is simply irresistible. Follow these tips to make the best pineapple upside-down cake possible.
