Time 50m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices, juice reserved
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries
1 (15 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box vanilla pudding mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup milk, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a bundt pan with nonstick spray.
  • Evenly pour the melted butter into the bottom of the bundt pan and top with the brown sugar.
  • Cut the pineapple rings in half and, alternating with the cherries, place into the butter-brown sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake and pudding mixes together. Add the reserved pineapple juice and milk. Add the eggs and vegetable oil, and mix until fully blended.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple and cherries.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, following the cake mix instructions for a bundt pan, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake for about 10 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inner ring of the pan. Invert onto a serving plate and slice between pineapple rings to serve.
  • Tip.
  • When you add the reserved pineapple juice and milk in step 4, they should equal 1 cup of liquid. If you like, you can first pour the reserved pineapple juice into a liquid measuring cup. Add enough milk until you have 1 cup of liquid. Add the liquid to the combined cake-and-pudding mix, then proceed with the recipe.

PINEAPPLE & CHERRY UPSIDE-DOWN SANDWICH CAKE



Pineapple & cherry upside-down sandwich cake image

This nostalgic sponge layer-cake is a trip down memory lane, fit for any afternoon tea party - fill generously with jam and vanilla cream

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield Cuts into about 10 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

250g pack butter , melted, plus a knob to grease
250g golden caster sugar , plus 2 tbsp
1 can pineapple rings
3 glacé cherries , halved (we used red dyed ones to keep it classic, but the choice is yours)
300g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
little icing sugar , for dusting
6 tbsp cherry jam
250ml double cream
1 tbsp caster sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line bases and sides with baking parchment. Scatter the 2 tbsp caster sugar in the base of one of the tins. Drain the pineapple over a bowl to catch the juices. Measure 100ml of juice into a big mixing bowl. Pat dry 3 pineapple rings with kitchen paper and halve horizontally. Arrange in the sugared tin, then add the glacé cherries.
  • Add the melted butter, sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla and eggs to the pineapple juice, and beat with an electric whisk until smooth. Divide the mixture evenly between the tins - it should be runny enough to pour over the pineapple to cover. Bake for 30 mins or until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean. Leave for 5 mins, then turn out the cakes onto a wire rack (pineapple-side up), peel off the parchment and cool.
  • Spread the jam over the cooled sponge without the pineapple. Whisk the cream, sugar and vanilla until thick, then spoon over the jam. Gently sit the pineapple sponge on top, and dust with a little icing sugar. Best eaten within 48 hours.
