How To Make whole grain pineapple upside down cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place 1/4 cup butter in a 9 inch round baking pan; heat in oven until melted. Remove pan from oven and tilt pan to coat bottom and sides.
  • 2
    Mix coconut sugar, nutmeg & cinnamon together and sprinkle onto bottom of buttered pan.
  • 3
    Spread pineapple over sugar mixture.
  • 4
    For batter - in a large bowl, beat butter and coconut sugar until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla and pineapple juice.
  • 5
    In another bowl, whisk flours, baking powder and salt together. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. I add it in thirds.
  • 6
    Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • 7
    Cool 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
