Pineapple Upside Down Cake
You can buy a pineapple upside down cake mix these days, but trust us -- it's nothing like this!
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups
sugar 2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon
salt 4 teaspoons
baking powder 1 cup pineapple juice (drained from canned pineapple rings)
8 tablespoons butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 cans sliced pineapple rings (in its own juice)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Blend the 1/2 cup butter with sugar and eggs until creamy. In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together. Add sifted dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with fruit juice.
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar. Blend thoroughly and spread evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch cake pan. Arrange pineapple slices over the surface of mixture. Cover with the cake batter (it will be very dense; use a spatula to spread it throughout the cake pan). Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
Let the cake cool for 15 minutes, then slide a knife around the outside edges of the cake to loosen it from the pan. Place a serving plate over the top of the cake pan and turn over, flipping the cake onto the plate.
