Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This cake melts in your mouth.
Mixing a cake from scratch is not at all hard and kids find
the concept of this cake fun, they particularly enjoy the
pineapple rings at the bottom. Give it a try –- it just might
become a family favorite.
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup sugar
7 pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
For the cake: 1/2 cup butter, 2/3 cup sugar,
1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 eggs, 2/3 cups all-purpose flour,
2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2/3 cup
milk
Upside down part: Grease a 9-inch cake pan. Melt the butter
in another pan on low heat, and then add the sugar. Stir
constantly until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Pour the
mixture into the bottom of the cake pan. Layer the pineapple
rings on top of the butter/sugar blend. The Cake Part: Cream
the butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the sugar, vanilla, and
eggs. Beat until the mixture is well blended. Combine all the dry
ingredients in another bowl. Add this to the butter mixture, then
add the milk, beating until smooth. Spread evenly over
The Upside Down Part. Bake for about 40 minutes at 350F. and cool.
Then, place a large rimmed serving plate over the cake pan, and
invert both dishes so that the cake transfers to the plate and
the pineapple rings are visible on top. This cake makes a
beautiful presentation that is also very tasty. See, that
was easy, wasn’t it?
