PINEAPPLE AND GINGER UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pineapple and Ginger Upside-Down Cake image

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.

Time 55m

Yield 1 small cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces butter (1/4 cup)
2 ounces brown sugar (1/6 cup)
1 (227 g) can pineapple rings (drained weight 140g)
2 candied cherries, halved (optional)
4 ounces butter (1/2 cup)
4 ounces light brown sugar (2/3 cup)
2 eggs, beaten
4 ounces self-raising flour (1 cup)
2 teaspoons ground ginger

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.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g softened butter
50g light soft brown sugar
7 pineapple rings in syrup, drained and syrup reserved
7 glacé cherries
100g softened butter
100g golden caster sugar
100g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

  • 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.

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.
