Nigella's Upside Down Cake
Report
Nigella's Pineapple Upside Down Cake, a classic dessert made with a few simple ingredients. The sponge is rich, buttery and so moist, and the pineapple slices and cherries add a nice texture, colour and taste. It's a great cake for every occasion, and it's so easy to make with little prep and effort. This homemade pineapple upside down cake is made from scratch, and it's so delicious, you will be making it again and again

Ingredients
- 6 slices of canned pineapples
- 9 candied cherries
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 100 g plain flour
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g butter, soft + 1 tablespoon for greasing the pan
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 3 tablespoon pineapple juice
Instructions
- Butter a non-stick pan (non detachable walls, non springform).
- Sprinkle over the light brown sugar, then arrange the pineapple slices and cherries over.
- In a food processor, add the butter, flour, granulated sugar, eggs, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and blitz well to get a smooth paste.
- Alternatively, add all ingredients to a large bowl, and use a hand mixer to mix everything together.
- Add the pineapple juice to the batter, and mix well again.
- Pour the batter over the fruit, and bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
- I transferred the cake from the top rack to the middle rack in the oven after 20 minutes to prevent the bake from browning too fast, and I continued to bake it for a further 10 minutes.
- When it's done, use a sharp knife to ease up the edges, then place a large plate or a baking tray on top and turn the cake over.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- Click on the US Customary link to see the measurements displayed in cups and ounces.
- The servings can be adjusted by clicking the number next to Servings.
- If you have fresh pineapple, you can use that, but make sure it's well ripen, otherwise it might be a tad sour. Fresh cherries can also be used instead of candied cherries, but make sure they are pitted first.
- Instead of pineapple juice, you can add lemon or lime juice to the batter, for a nice zingy kick. Or any other juice of your choice, I reckon orange juice is a good choice too.
- Otherwise, any other canned fruit should work here: pears and apples sound particularly good, my Apple Upside Down Cake is so good, plums: my Plum Upside Down Cake is a real treat.
