Tips:

  • Use a stainless steel or aluminum baking dish as the cake will brown more evenly than in a dark-colored or glass dish.
  • For the best results, use canned pineapple rings in heavy syrup. Do not use fresh pineapple as it will not caramelize properly.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool for at least 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
