To make this Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 can pineapple slices (20 oz)
- 1 jar maraschino cherries (10 oz)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt 1/2 cup of butter in a 9-inch cake pan and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices and cherries on top of the brown sugar mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture and milk alternately to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherries in the cake pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Place a serving plate over the cake pan and invert the cake onto the plate.
This Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The caramelized pineapple and cherries on top of the cake add a burst of fruity goodness to every bite. The moist and fluffy vanilla cake base is the perfect complement to the sweet and tangy topping.
