PINEAPPLE AND GINGER UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This was the first cake I ever made by myself seeing as it's soo simple. I find the pineapple flavor gets stronger the night after, and as a result the ginger flavor decreases. You can omit the ginger if you wish but I find the flavors really compliment each other. I originally got the recipe from a book but had to tweak a thing or two and so now this is just right.

Steps:
- Grease an 8 inch tin.
- To make topping: put the butter and sugar into a small bowl and beat together till nice and fluffy.
- Pour into tin. Place pineapple rings on top and cherries in the middle, personally I hate cherries so I never use them.
- To make the cake. beat together sugar and butter till fluffy.
- Mix in the pre-beaten eggs a little at a time.
- Sift in flour and ginger and mix.
- Add the pineapple juice from tin - I normally don't use quite all of it, but over 3/4. The batter should be quite thin. Mix again.
- Pour batter into tin, smoothing the top.
- Bake at 180C/360F for 35 mins, or until an inserted toothpick or knife comes clean and cake is golden on top. I find that if the cake is golden on top but the middle isn't cooked, lowering the heat to 140 degrees C (280 F) and baking until middle is cooked is the best solution and sometimes if a cake is being particularly stubborn with the middle not cooking lowering it further to 100 degrees C (200F) Although I've never had to with this particular cake.
- When cake is ready turn over and release tin so the pineapple rings are on top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- For the topping, beat 50g softened butter and 50g light soft brown sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base and a quarter of the way up the sides of a 20cm round cake tin.

- Place 100g softened butter, 100g golden caster sugar, 100g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 eggs in a bowl along with 2 tbsp of the reserved pineapple syrup. Using an electric whisk, beat to a soft consistency.
- Spoon into the tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it's level. Bake for 35 mins. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out onto a plate. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a brighter flavor and more juice than canned pineapple. If you must use canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
- Grate the ginger finely. This will help the ginger flavor to distribute evenly throughout the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool for at least 15 minutes before inverting it. This will help to prevent the cake from breaking apart.
Conclusion:
Pineapple and ginger upside-down cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy ginger, and moist cake is sure to please everyone. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect pineapple and ginger upside-down cake that will be the star of your next party or potluck.
