Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place ¼ cup butter in a 9-inch round pan. Put pan in the oven until the butter melts. Sprinkle the brown sugar in an even layer over the melted butter.
- Place one whole pineapple ring in the center of the pan. Cut the other pineapple slices in half, and arrange them in a fanned manner. You will use about 6 whole slices, or 12 halves, to cover the bottom of the pan. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter for 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla and continue beating with electric mixer until blended. Add eggs, beating well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add to the butter mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Beat for 3 minutes after all is added.
- Pour cake batter into cake pan and spread evenly over the pineapple. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and top is browned.
- Immediately after removing from oven, place a cake plate or platter on top of the cake pan. Flip the plate and pan upside down. Leave pan over cake for a couple of minutes allowing the brown sugar mixture to drizzle over cake. Remove pan. Serve warm.
- Loosely cover and store cake in the refrigerator for best results.
Notes
- Recipe adapted using my favorite yellow cake!
- Pineapple Slices: I like to cut my pineapple rings in half before arranging them in the pan. I find this gives you more pineapple taste per bite. If you prefer, you can also keep them in ring shape and arrange them however you like.
- How to store: This cake keeps best stored in the fridge. Cover it loosely with plastic wrap, foil or a cake cover to keep it moist. I do not recommend freezing pineapple upside down cake.
- Cake Pan: You'll need a round cake pan, that is deep enough to bake this treat. I bought mine on Amazon- THIS ONE IS PERFECT.
