How To Make skillet ~ pineapple inside / upside down cake

  • 1
    Preheat your oven to 350 degree F. Spray either a 10 inch oven safe skillet or cake pan...could probably get away with a 9 inch.
  • 2
    In a small sauce pan; over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar - until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. ( forgot to get a pic )
  • 3
    Pour mixture into prepared pan. Now arrange your pineapple slices. overlapping if need be to fit. Place a cherry inside each ring of pineapple. Set aside.
  • 4
    For the cake: Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside. Now, in a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 4 minutes. Mix in vanilla. Add one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • 5
    Now, mix in half of the flour mixture, just until combined. Add 3/4 cup pineapple juice and the crushed pineapple; beat to combine. Add remaining flour.
  • 6
    Spread the batter over the pineapples in the pan...I take big dollops of batter and place all around, then spread out evenly.
  • 7
    Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and wooden pick comes out clean.
  • 8
    Wait about 5 minutes, then place your serving dish on top of the pan, flip over. Rearrange your pineapples and cherries if any be stuck to the bottom of skillet.
  • 9
    Serve warm or at room temperature.. It's sooooooo good...Enjoy!
