Pineapple Reverse Cake
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 cup packed brown sugar
– 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices in juice, drained
– Maraschino cherries, for garnish
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, pour it into the greased cake pan, then sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the melted butter.
3. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the brown sugar mixture in a single layer. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
5. In a separate bowl, beat the granulated sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
6. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
7. Carefully pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
10. Place a serving plate upside down on top of the cake pan, then carefully flip the cake onto the plate. Slowly lift the cake pan off the cake, allowing the caramelized pineapple topping to settle on top.
11. Serve the Pineapple Reverse Cake warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the tropical flavors of pineapple and caramel in every moist and delicious bite!
