Finished CakeIt's pineapple season! My mother bought me several pineapples at only a dollar each and I didn't know what to do with it all so I decided to throw them into this cake. I've always used canned pineapples for my upside down cakes but this version with freshly cut ones tasted amazing and is so very easy to make. Try it with canned or fresh, you'll love it either way!

Ingredients:

Top:

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 a fresh (cleaned) pineapple or 1 can pineapple slices
  • maraschino cherries for centers of pineapples, optional

Cake:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
    • If you don't want to make this cake from scratch, a box of yellow cake, mixed to directions, will do fine!

      Directions:

      Put butter and brown sugar in a frying pan and melt until it boils or bubbles. I use a cast iron pan because it's heavy and cooks every evenly. I just move it from stove top straight to the oven.

      Butter and Sugar Topping
       

      Place pineapples in butter and sugar mixture. If you're using cherries, pop them in too. Put some smaller pieces of pineapple lined up the sides of the frying pan (standing up on edge). If you're not using a pan that can go into the oven, pour all this into a cake pan and arrange your pineapple accordingly.

      Pineapple Topping
       

      Prepare the cake mix batter by combining the ingredients and beating for one minute. Pour batter over pineapples and bake at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes. Test center with toothpick. Batter Over Topping

       

      When cake is done, loosen edges with a butter knife. Remove from heat and allow to rest five minutes, then turn it upside down on a serving dish.

This unusual cake is just wonderful for breakfast or brunch. The addition of cornmeal gives the cake a delicious taste and texture, and the layers of pineapple an extra boost.

This is a recipe I got from a friend and it is so good. It uses eggs, canned coconut milk, and pineapples. Pineapple can be canned but it can also be fresh.

As long as you get those nice wheels at the bottom of the pan, it will work out well.

I recently saw a recipe for pineapple upside down cake with cream cheese filling, but am now unable to find it. It was made in a springform pan with the pineapple and cherries on the bottom, half the cake mix, cream cheese filling, remaining half of cake mix. Does anyone have this recipe?

Of course you can! Cake mix is cake mix. Mix the batter and then prepare your pineapple combination for layering bottom of pan. Pour the prepared batter over pineapples and bake until golden brown. Should be great!!!
