Fresh Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
I'm non certain WHY I've never idea of making a pineapple upside-down cake amongst FRESH pineapple before. Maybe it is because ALL of my cookbooks advise canned pineapple? Maybe it is because canned pineapple is ever inward the pantry? Maybe it is because I'm non really adventurous?
Well, this cake came close due to the rare combination of... "I desire to bake something" + "what tin I create amongst this really ripe pineapple?" + "the perfect window of time".
The destination trial was this pineapple upside-down cake made amongst FRESH pineapple as well as it was delicious!! The divergence is similar nighttime as well as day!!
Preheat your oven to 350 as well as cutting a parchment newspaper liner for the bottom of a 9" circular cake pan. Spray the pan as well as parchment newspaper amongst a low-cal coating of cooking spray. The parchment newspaper is non absolutely necessary, merely it helps if y'all receive got a "sticking" number amongst the sugariness pineapple glaze (you tin usage waxed newspaper inward a pinch).
5 tablespoons of melted butter
2/3 loving cup low-cal chocolate-brown saccharide (packed)
3 cups fresh pineapple cutting into 1" cubes (see note)
maraschino cherries cutting inward half
1 1/2 cups all role flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 loving cup butter (room temperature)
2/3 loving cup white sugar
2 eggs
3/4 loving cup pineapple juice (or milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon butter extract
1/2 loving cup pecans chopped medium-small
Mix melted butter amongst chocolate-brown saccharide as well as spread evenly inward prepared 9" circular cake pan. Set aside.
Cut pineapple into 1" chunks as well as blot them dry out betwixt several thicknesses of newspaper towel (press on them a trivial to extract excess juice).
For the batter, cream the butter as well as saccharide until it is actually fluffy. Under-beating the butter at this phase volition laissez passer on y'all a pitiable character cake. After it is squeamish as well as fluffy, add together the eggs (one at a time) as well as extracts as well as crunch until its fluffy again.
Sift the flour, baking pulverization as well as cinnamon into a bowl as well as add together it to the butter mixture inward iii parts, alternately amongst the pineapple juice (or milk) starting as well as ending amongst the flour. Set aside.
Assembly: Nestle the pineapple, pecans as well as cherry pieces downward into the chocolate-brown saccharide mixture inward the cake pan (arrange inward pretty fashion because this volition show). Pour the cake batter over the top as well as (very gently) spread it out.
Bake inward 350 oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick tests build clean (my electrical oven takes just 45 minutes). Remove from oven as well as sit down pan on a cooling rack for xv minutes.
After xv minutes, run a sparse bladed knife approximately the border of the cake as well as invert onto a serving plate as well as pare off the parchment paper. Serve cake warm or at room temperature.
NOTE: Traditionally, pineapple upside-down cake has pretty rings of pineapple amongst carmine cherries inward the pump of each ring. However, when the cake is baked similar that, it is difficult to eat. You either run past times away a large unmanageable hunk of pineapple on your slice of cake or no pineapple at all (does that brand sense?). Instead, I cutting the pineapple into really pocket-size pieces (almost a dice) as well as adapt the cherries randomly over the cake. It is much easier to cut, serve as well as swallow (even if it ISN'T traditional). If y'all usage this diced pineapple style, it alone takes 2 cups of diced fruit instead of three.
