Nickeys Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes

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:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Melt butter in a 9x13 pan in oven.
• Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter in pan.
• Drain canned pineapple into a measuring cup.
• Place pineapple slices evenly in pan, cutting the last two in half to cover pan.
• Place the maraschino cherry halves in the center of the pineapple slices, cut side up.
• Combine the rest of ingredients in a large mixing bowl on slow speed for 30 seconds.
• Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Pour batter into pan.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Cool 5 minutes and turn cake out onto a serving platter, pineapple side up.

Steps:

• Use a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet or pan.
• Melt 1/4 cup of the butter over low heat in skillet, add brown sugar make sure evenly coats bottom.
• Take pan off of the heat, arrange pineapple slices on top of brown sugar.
• In a large bowl, cream other 1/4 cup of butter with the sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mix until blended. Add juice, milk if using, and vanilla. Beat until sugar is well dissolved.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt and mix with the egg mixture until well blended.
• Pour batter into the skillet/pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
• Let cool for 10 minutes and then put plate over skillet/pan and flip over.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray 13x9 pan with cooking spray. Then melt the butter in the pan (in oven) while preheating (watch that you don't burn the butter.).
• Remove pan from oven then sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter in pan.
• Evenly arrange pineapple slices in the sugar. Then place the cherries in the center of and pecans between the pineapple slices. I don't cut my cherries but it's okay to -- I think they go flat side down if you do but I don't think it matters as long as they're all done the same way.
• In a large bowl, combine the rest of ingredients, pineapple juice/water mixture, oil, pudding and eggs at low speed until moistened, then 2 minutes at medium. Carefully pour over fruit and nuts.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately invert onto serving platter, pineapple side up.
• If you make the mistake of adding pudding to a mix with pudding already in it (I did!), you will need more bake time. My toothpick came out clean at 45 minutes but was still mushy in the center of the cake when I turned it over. -- I returned the cake (it was right side up by then) to the oven and baked it for another 10 minutes -- watch that you don't burn the pineapples :).

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 375 degrees F.

Lay the pineapple rings on top in a concentric pattern, overlapping slightly. Place the cherries in the center of each of the pineapple rings.
• Whisk together the remaining melted butter, reserved pineapple juice, eggs and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. In another large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Add the wet to the dry and mix together until just combined.
• Pour the batter over the pineapple rings and bake on a sheet tray until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool the cake in its pan for 25 minutes. Run a knife along the edges to loosen. Place a plate over the top and carefully flip the cake out of the pan.

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:

• Whisk together the honey, sugar, lemon juice, rum, if using, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a small bowl. Place pineapple rings in a large, shallow dish and pour marinade over. Allow to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to macerate.

• Remove the pineapple rings from the maceration liquid and reserve liquid. Oil the grill grates. Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before cutting 6 of the rings in to half-moons, leaving one ring intact.
• Prepare the cake mix according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Place the intact pineapple ring in the center of the greased skillet. Lay the halved rings around the central ring, all facing the same direction. Pour half of the maceration liquid into the pan over the pineapple. Pour the cake batter over.
• Bake, rotating the skillet halfway through, until top is golden and cake springs back when pressed, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until just slightly warm, then carefully invert onto a cutting board or large platter. Slice and drizzle with remaining maceration liquid, then serve with vanilla ice cream.
