Best Pineapple Upside Down Cake Simple and Tasty Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 2 unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 2 milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 2 baking soda
• 1 4 salt
• 1 can (20 oz) sliced pineapple rings (in juice, drained)
• 1 2 brown sugar
• 1 2 maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the bottom.
2. Place the drained pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar in a decorative pattern. If using, place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
5. Carefully pour the cake batter over the arranged pineapple and sugar in the pan, ensuring an even distribution.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Gently run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top of the pan and carefully flip it over to release the cake.
8. Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
