PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE- The Southern Lady Cooks

admin by admin
February 14, 2023
in Tips & Recipes


Pineapple upside down cake is an old fashioned classic that has been around as long as I can remember. My mother made this cake for every picnic, potluck or gathering and it was always a hit.  This cake is wonderful served with coffee.  You can always add ice cream or whipped cream but my family likes it just plain.  You might also like to check out our recipe for blueberry crisp.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ingredients Needed:

Butter

Brown sugar

1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings in pineapple juice

All-purpose flour

Baking powder

Salt

White granulated sugar

Eggs

Evaporated milk or regular milk

Vanilla extract

Pineapple juice

Maraschino cherries for decoration

This pineapple upside down cake is made in a 10 inch iron skillet but you could make it in a 9×13 baking dish. My mother always made this cake in an iron skillet and we have definitely kept that tradition going.  A 9X13 dish works fine too! If you have any pineapple juice left over, it is great poured over cake slices when served.

If you feel like your pineapple rings are really wet, then blot them dry with a paper towel before adding them to the skillet or dish. Same with the cherries, it just takes some of the moisture down.

“Okay, every once in a while I try a recipe that, when eating it, I say, “Are you kidding me? Did I actually make this?” Because it tastes like heaven. This is one of those recipes! The texture, flavor, ease of making … It’s the absolutely best! I actually made three more for my neighbors.” -Holly

“Great Recipe, never baked this style of cake before but worked beautifully. I didn’t have any cherries, so I used pecans which were just as good” – Charlotte

Tips on evaporated milk:  You can use evaporated milk in lots of recipes instead of regular milk.  You can also blend 1 part evaporated milk to 1 part water in a recipe or use it without blending. It just makes for a creamier consistency. It is great to have on hand when you run out of regular milk. Once opened and refrigerated you should use it within 3 to 5 days. It is good to use in baked goods, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, soups, puddings and makes a great creamer for coffee or tea.

Cake Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Cake Intructions

  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In another bowl using a mixer cream butter, sugar and eggs. Add milk, vanilla and pineapple juice along with creamed butter, sugar and eggs to flour mixture and mix until all ingredients are wet. Spread in skillet over pineapple.

  • Bake in preheated 350 degree oven on middle shelf for 35 to 45 minutes until center tests done. Remove from oven and let cool 10 to 15 minutes. Turn out onto plate or platter. Decorate with cherries. Makes 6 to 8 large servings

If you have any pineapple juice left over, it is great poured over cake slices when served.
