How To Make Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Hi. Today, I'm going to show you how to make pineapple upside down cake. The first thing you want to do for this recipe is add in the butter and sugar together and combine those until they're nice and creamed.

Use the back of the spoon if the lumps are a bit large at first. The aim is to make the sugar disappear, and make a smooth creamy mixture. Add the eggs.

Now, eggs react differently depending on the temperature. So, if it looks like it's curdled a bit, don't worry at this stage. The flour should sort all of that out.

Try to get as many lumps out, then add the vanilla. After the eggs, add in your flour and baking powder and mix until combined. Try not to over-mix, just enough till the flour's disappeared and it's a smooth consistency.

Now that the mixture is smooth and glossy, you can start assembling your cake. All you need is just a non-stick spring form tin or anything similar with just the slightest bit of baking paper at the bottom, so it makes it a bit easier when it comes out of the oven. Start off by putting the rings inside the bottom tin.

Start with one in the middle and add as many as you need to fill the base with nice and packed in, seven rings there, in the middle of each ring, place a glace cherry and drizzle a bit of golden syrup. Pour the whole mixture in, cover up the pineapples and the cherries. And, to not waste any mixture, scrape it all out with a spatula.

And just use the back of the spatula to just smooth it over, so that everything covered and it will cook evenly when it's in the oven. That goes in for about twenty-five to thirty minutes at a hundred and fifty-two degrees in a fan assisted oven or anything similar. Okay, now that the cake is ready to come out of the oven, I've left it to sort of cool down to a sort of lukewarm room temperature.

Leave it to sit in its tin for as long as possible. The longer, the better, really so it kind of solidifies. I'm just going to run a pie lift knife around the edges just to make sure it doesn't stick.

It shouldn't do it if you've got a good tin. The good thing about the spring form tin is that you can just remove the top. And you want to place your serving plate, flip it over, then remove the base.

And that is your pineapple upside down cake. .
