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 vegetable oil
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange the pineapple slices and cherries on top of the brown sugar mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the oil and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, alternating between the two, and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherry layer in the cake pan, and smooth out the top. 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 carefully flip the cake over onto the plate. The pineapple and cherries should now be on top of the cake.
This Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a perfect dessert for any occasion. It's a classic recipe that's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor from the caramelized pineapple and cherries. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat.
