Pineapple Upside Down Cake

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed

This is Hubs’ favorite cake.  I should really make it more often, ‘cuz it’s very easy and homemade cake is rather frugal to boot!

Preheat your oven to 350° and grease your 9 x 13 pan.

You’ll need:

  • 1 can crushed pineapple
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 5 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1½ cups white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla

Drain the pineapple but reserve the liquid.  Mix ¼ cup melted butter w/ the brown sugar, 2 Tbsp of the reserved liquid and the drained pineapple.  Spread it in the pan.

To the rest of the reserved liquid add enough water to make 1 & 1/3 cup.  Set this aside.

Combine flour baking powder.  Set this aside too.

Cream 1 cup butter with the white sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Beat for 1 minute.  Add the flour mixture alternately with the juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.  Pour over the pineapple mixture in pan.

Bake at 350° for 40 minutes.  Do the toothpick test.

I don’t have a platter the right size to turn this cake upside down . . .

. . . so I don’t.

    Yummy… That is one of my favorite cakes too. I don’t have a platter large enough to turn it over either. SO I use a cookie sheet fits perfectly.
