Hawaiian Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
• Arrange 8 pineapple rings in two rows in the baking dish.
• Sprinkle the macadamia nuts, half of the flaked coconut, and 2 chopped pineapple slices between the rows of pineapple rings.
• Place a maraschino cherry in each pineapple ring, then scatter the remaining cherries over the coconut mixture. Set baking dish aside.
• Whisk together the pineapple juice, coconut water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the mashed banana, yellow cake mix, and remaining flaked coconut until well blended.
• Slowly pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan.
• Cover the cake pan with a large serving plate, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate with the pineapple slices showing.

Steps:

• Spray 18, 4 ounce molds with cooking oil spray. Sauce: Heat butter and sugar over medium heat and bring to boil, stirring so sugar doesn't burn. Pour 2 tablespoons into each mold; chill 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Batter: Cream butter and sugars. Beat in eggs. Sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Add mixture gradually to creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Fold in milk and vanilla. Arrange pineapple slices over glaze in molds. Top with 1/4 cup batter. Bake 17 to 18 minutes. Turn molds over on plates and un-mold cakes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until lightly golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool. Turn the oven temperature down to 325 degrees. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup and evenly coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch glass pie plate with the mixture. When the almonds are cool, arrange around the bottom rim of the pie plate, with a few in the center, gently pressing them into the brown mixture. Arrange pineapple on top.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and thoroughly mix. In another bowl, whisk together the softened butter, sour cream, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer at medium speed about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until thick and smooth. Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly over the fruit, building up the outside edges so the cake will be level when baked.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes clean. Transfer to a rack to cool 3 to 5 minutes (no longer) and then invert onto a serving plate, repositioning the fruit as necessary.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pineapple: In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and arrange the pineapple slices in the skillet. Fill in the spaces with the crushed pineapple. Set aside.
• For the cake: Meanwhile, combine the cake ingredients in this fashion: In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In bowl number 2, combine the milk, vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar and coconut oil on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Add the milk mixture and stir until just combined. Add the rest of the flour and mix until combined, about 1 minute.
• Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the skillet and spread evenly. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 25 to 35 minutes, checking after 20 minutes to make sure the top isn't getting too brown. If it is, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Let cool for 15 minutes. Cover with a cutting board or large plate and invert the cake. Ta daaaaaaa, you are ready to eat!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the butter in an 8-by-8-by-2-inch square baking pan and set it over low heat to melt. When melted, sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter. Arrange the pineapple rings in a single layer on top of the sugar, making 3 rows. Cut the maraschino cherries in half, and place one half, cut-side up, in the center of each pineapple ring. Set the pan aside.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt, then sift once more. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, mix together the shortening, granulated sugar, egg and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir only enough after each addition to combine.
• Pour the batter carefully into the pineapple-lined baking pan and bake for 40 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center or pressing the cake lightly with a fingertip; if the impression springs back, the cake is done. Run a knife around the edges of the pan and place a serving dish on top. Invert the cake onto the serving dish. Leave the pan inverted over the cake for several moments to allow the syrup to soak into the cake.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, 1/2 stick butter, the shortening, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed-you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and layer the pineapple slices over the top. If desired, place maraschino cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices.
• Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and gently spread to even out the top. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm.

Steps:

• Marinate pineapple rings in rum overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter and brown sugar in a large iron skillet (at least 12"), or other heavy, oven-proof pan.
• Arrange the marinated pineapple rings in the bottom of the pan in a single layer and simmer slowly over low heat in the melted butter and sugar until the cake batter is ready to go into the pan.
• Mix the granulated sugar, reserved pineapple juice and egg yolks in a large bowl.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
• Beat egg whites until peaks form.
• Quickly mix flour mixture into the sugar and egg mixture until well blended. Gently fold in egg whites.
• Place one cherry half upside down in the middle of each pineapple ring. Sprinkle chopped macadamia nuts evenly over the rings, gently spoon the batter over the pineapple rings and macadamia nuts.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool until it is just warm to the touch, then invert over a large plate.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make the topping:.
• Cream butter and sugar and spread over the base of a deep cake tin. A loose bottomed tin can make it easier to remove the cake later - or you can line it with a piece of baking paper if you're nervous!
• Arrange fruit on top. If you like you can put a glace cherry in the centre of each pineapple ring.
• Make the sponge:.
• Cream butter and sugar.
• Add beaten egg and vanilla.
• Add sifted flour and baking powder alternately with milk (or use juice - not syrup - from the tin instead of milk).
• Pour sponge mixture on top of fruit.
• Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• In large mixing bowl, cream together granulated sugar and eggs.
• Add pineapple with juice, flour, baking soda, salt and walnuts, stir until combined.
• Pour into greased and floured 13 x 9 cake pan.
• Bake 55-60 minutes or until wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Top with cream cheese frosting when cool.
• CREAM CHEESE FROSTING.
• Mix together cream cheese, margarine, confectioners sugar and vanilla. Beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar, add beaten egg.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt, add gradually with milk to butter mixture. Fold in mashed banana.
• Melt butter and sprinkle brown sugar through it on bottom of pan, 8 inches square or small angel food pan.
• Add well drained crushed pineapple and chopped nuts. Pour batter over this mixture and bake in pre-heated oven of 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.

Steps:

• Line a dinner plate with paper towels. Lay the pineapple slices on the plate and blot them dry on both sides. Set aside.
• Lightly butter a 9 inch square baking pan. Combine the butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter melts, stir in the brown sugar.
• Bring to a slow boil and cook 30 seconds, stirring. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture around.
• Lay the pineapple slices in three rows and put a cherry in the center of each ring. Press one pecan half, if using, in each gap between pineapple slices. Set aside.
• NOTE: If using a round skillet, heat the butter-maple syrup-brown sugar mixture right in the pan. Make a ring of pineapple slices, just touching, with one in the center and proceed with the cherries and pecans.
• To start the cake portion, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer on medium high, cream the butter, gradually adding sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat in 1/3 cup of buttermilk, the molasses and the vanilla.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a bowl. Add half of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth. Add the remaining buttermilk, beat to blend then add the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine.
• Scrape the batter over the pineapple slices and smooth with a spoon or spatula.
• Bake on the center oven rack for 35-40 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back when touched. Put a platter or baking sheet over the pan and carefully invert the cake onto the platter or baking pan. Remove the pan. Wear long sleeves and oven mitts incase the hot glaze leaks out during inversion.
• Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
