A Little Bakin'

Gentle Friends...I made at the request of the "Hag Claw" a Pineapple Upside Down Cake - for a coworkers Birthday - it's a totally easy recipe - and I've made it quite a few time before......


.....  but just in case you've missed it and want to make one on your own....it starts off with a yellow cake mix......  melt 1/4 cup of butter in a 9 x 13 pan in a preheating 325 degree oven until melted but not browned.  Sprinkle a cup of dark brown sugar over melted butter.  Drain a 20 oz can of sliced pineapple, reserving the juice, arrange the slices in a single layer on top of the brown sugar - then place cherries in holes.  Prepare the cake mix according to the package substituting the reserved pineapple juice for the water.  Pour over the pineapple slices - bake in preheated oven for about 40 - 45 minutes or until a cake taster comes out clean.  Take out of the oven let cool about 15 minutes - then flip onto a tray or serving board and let the pan stay on top for another 5 minutes before removing.  Allow to cool for another 30 or so minutes - cut an serve.  I found that cooking this cake in a 325 and not a 350 oven for a few extra minutes makes a big difference to the finished cake.

  3. Looks good. We always had pineapple upside down cake at Easter at my Grandmothers. She baked hers in an iron skillet. I don't know why I haven't baked one in years. This one will be on my Easter dinner table. Thanks for a sweet remembrance.
