pineapple upside down cake recipe | pineapple cake | upside down pineapple with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and fancy tasty eggless cake recipe made with pineapple slices topped on top of baked pineapple or vanilla flavoured plum cake. it is a popular cake recipe not just because of it is taste, but also for the fact that the pineapple slices are topped and baked. it is a perfect dessert recipe which is not only liked by kids by all the age groups.
if you have observed this cake recipe, the pineapple slices are topped on top this normal cake. but its not baked as its with slices on top of it. the slices are stacked to the base and side of the baking tray. once it is stacked, the cake batter is poured on top of it and baked as any cake. once the cake is baked, it is then served upside down with pineapple slices at the top of the cake. baking the pineapples slices at the bottom of the cake helps to release the juice of pineapple and also get infused to the cake. moreover, it also gets caramelized when it gets in touch with sugar syrup and thus forming an ideal and unique cake recipe. it feels like it is a simple and easy procedure, but takes extra precaution while preparing this cake recipe.
furthermore, i would also like to highlight some tips, suggestions and variations for a perfect pineapple upside down cake recipe. firstly, for this recipe, i would heavily recommend using fresh and juicy pineapple slices. yet i have used canned pineapple slices as i did not have access to the fresh one. the canned ones are sliced to the same size and hence it helps to stack and arrange in the baking tray. secondly, the most preferred cake batter for this recipe is the plain vanilla-flavoured cake or pineapple flavoured batter. do not try to attempt the cake with any other cake flavour as it may overpower the pineapple flavour. lastly, try to arrange the pineapple slices in a symmetric way so that it looks attractive. also fill in the gap with bright coloured cherry to make it even more attractive.
