PINEAPPLE SPICE CAKE



Pineapple Spice Cake image

So simple and easy I hesitate to submit this recipe, but everyone loved it! Using pineapple in place of the usual oil and water called for on the package mix makes this cake much lower in fat and very moist! Substitute another flavoring, such as rum extract, for the orange extract if you like.

SPICY PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Spicy Pineapple Upside Down Cake image

This very easy and yummy cake is an old New England recipe from my grandmother using gingerbread instead of the standard yellow cake. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Provided by Michelle Satterfield

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Pineapple Dessert Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup butter, melted
1 (15.25 ounce) can pineapple rings, juice drained and reserved
8 maraschino cherries, or more as needed
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 cups molasses
1 cup hot water

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pour the melted butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish, then sprinkle the brown sugar all around. Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer in the baking dish, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each ring. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt in a bowl. Beat 1 cup butter and the white sugar with an electric mixer in another bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and molasses. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the liquid ingredients, alternating with the hot water and reserved pineapple juice, until just combined. Slowly pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan, being careful not to move the arranged pineapple slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool the cake in the pan completely on a wire rack. When the cake is cool, run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Cover the cake pan with a plate, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use your favorite frosting. This cake is delicious with any type of frosting, but cream cheese frosting is a classic choice.

Conclusion:

Pineapple spice cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist texture, tangy pineapple flavor, and warm spices, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
