🍍 Pineapple Upside Down Cake 😍
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 6–8 pineapple rings, drained
- 6–8 maraschino cherries
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch round cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over it. Arrange the pineapple rings on top and place a cherry in the center of each ring.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple layer.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature. 🍰✨
