This delicious cake features a moist and flavorful base topped with sweet and tangy pineapple slices. Follow this recipe for a perfect cake every time.
1. Gather your ingredients and preheat your oven.
Before you begin making your old-fashioned upside-down pineapple cake, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand. You’ll need 1 1/3 cups of flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 egg, ¾ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ cup butter, 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 9 slices canned pineapple slices, and 9 maraschino cherries without stems, if desired.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9 x 13- inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter. With everything ready, you’re now ready to start baking your cake, but first go to step number 2.
2. Prepare the pineapple topping.
Now that you have all your ingredients together you can start by making the pineapple topping.
To make the perfect pineapple topping for your old-fashioned upside-down pineapple cake, start by melting 1/4 cup butter in a pre-heated 350°F. oven in a 9 x 13-inch square pan.
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter. Arrange pineapple slices over brown sugar. Place cherries in the center of each pineapple slice. Set the pan aside and move on to preparing the cake batter.
3. Mix the cake batter and pour it over the pineapple topping.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 2 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk, until everything is well combined. Pour the batter over the pineapple topping in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the cake until it’s golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
Once you’ve poured the batter over the pineapple topping in the cake pan, it’s time to bake the cake. Preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Be sure to keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
5. Invert the cake onto a serving platter and enjoy!
After letting the cake cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, it’s time to invert it onto a serving platter. This can be a bit tricky, so be sure to use oven mitts or a towel to protect your hands.
This will allow the pineapple topping to settle and stick to the cake, creating that classic upside-down look. Serve warmly with a dollop of homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
