Categories     Dessert

Time 35m

Yield 1 8 inch square cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/8 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 banana, mashed
1 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup nuts, chopped
1/3 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar, add beaten egg.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt, add gradually with milk to butter mixture. Fold in mashed banana.
  • Melt butter and sprinkle brown sugar through it on bottom of pan, 8 inches square or small angel food pan.
  • Add well drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts. Pour batter over this mixture and bake in pre-heated oven of 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and will give your bread a more intense banana flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will give your bread a nice golden brown crust.
  • Baste the bread with butter while it's baking: This will help keep the bread moist and flavorful.
  • Let the bread cool completely before inverting it: If you try to invert the bread while it's still hot, it will fall apart.

Conclusion:

Pineapple Upside-Down Banana Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
