Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter, melted
1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed divided use
1-20 oz canned crushed pineapple, drained (juice reserved)
2 c chopped fresh strawberries
1 box yellow cake mix (18-3/4 ozs.)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 ripe medium size bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
1/2 c vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 c water (add enough water to the reserved pineapple juice to make the one cup water)

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare your 13x9-1/2x2 inch cake by either greasing the sides with butter or using cooking spray such as Pam. Place the butter in your cake pan and place it in the oven while your oven is preheating at 350 degrees so that your butter melts. Once butter is melted remove pan from oven and sprinkle one cup of the brown sugar evenly over the bottom of your pan.
  • 2. Now spoon crushed pineapple evenly over the bottom of the pan. Add the chopped strawberries evenly over the pineapple layer and set aside until cake batter is prepared.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl place the dry cake mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add mashed bananas, 1 cup water/pineapple juice mix, oil, and eggs. Blend with an electric mixer for one minute. Stop mixer and scrap down side of bowl with rubber spatula. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed until well blended, scraping sides again if needed.
  • 4. Pour batter evenly over the fruit layer in your baking pan. Place on center rack in your oven.
  • 5. Bake until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand about 5 minutes for topping to set; then turn cake onto a large serving platter or a cookie sheet. Serve cake pieces with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. This cake is good both warm or cold. Enjoy!!

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE



Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

This Southern staple is the kind of cake that's always on the table, ready to greet anyone who comes over. Good enough for dessert, it's also not supersweet, so you could have it for breakfast with coffee or tea, or at any time of day. Made with canned pineapple and maraschino cherries (which can stay in the cupboard for a long time), it's a delicious and beautiful cake that's also budget friendly. The caramel finish is simple to put together, and the base is light and moist, but strong enough to hold up that joyful topping. If you don't want to use whole milk, you could use an equal amount of the reserved pineapple juice. The end result will be slightly sweeter, but that's not a bad thing.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/110 grams packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup/57 grams unsalted butter, melted and still hot
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 (20-ounce/567-gram) can pineapple slices, drained
15 to 20 maraschino cherries, stems removed
2 cups/256 grams cake flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/2 cup/113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup/93 grams plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using). Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish or round cake pan that's at least 2 inches deep.
  • Using a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel, blot any excess liquid off the fruit. Arrange the pineapple slices to your liking in a single layer on top of the brown sugar-butter mixture, covering the base of the pan, then add the cherries wherever there's a gap. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the cake.
  • Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  • Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and beat on high speed until creamed together, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • On high speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined, then beat in the yogurt and vanilla extract, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the dry cake flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer to low speed and carefully pour in the milk. Beat on low speed just until all the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
  • Remove the pan from the refrigerator. Pour and spread the cake batter evenly over the topping.
  • Bake for 40 to 55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (A couple moist crumbs are OK.)
  • Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife along the edge to loosen, then invert the cake onto a plate. (Take care, as the pan may still be hot.) Serve warm or at room temperature.
