Pineapple Upside Down Cake With Rum Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Put the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon half of the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the pineapple preserves on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert back onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, whisk together the confectioners' sugar and rum in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350°F.
• Make the glaze and pineapples:
• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the brown sugar and 1 cup rum, and bring to a simmer. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about 1/3. Whisk in the butter. Add the pineapple slices, gently stirring to coat them in the glaze, then let them sit for about 3 minutes. Transfer the pineapple slices to the bottom of a 9-inch square cake pan, arranging them to cover the bottom.
• Make the cake:
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and beat on high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat on medium until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and rum, and beat for 30 seconds. Fold in the flour and salt. Scrape the batter (it will be thick) over the pineapples in the pan. Sprinkle the pecans over the batter and bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Let the cake cool on a rack for 15 minutes then flip it onto a serving plate so that the pineapples are on top. DO AHEAD: The cake be baked in advance, covered, and kept at room temperature up to 10 hours.
• To serve:
• In a small saucepan over moderate heat, combine the rum glaze and the remaining 1/2 cup rum and warm until heated through. Cut the cake into squares and serve with vanilla ice cream and warm rum glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt brown sugar, butter, and honey for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
• Pour butter mixture into the bottoms of two ungreased 8-inch round cake pans. Drain pineapple slices and reserve 1/4 cup juice for the cake. Layer pineapple slices on top of the butter mixture.
• Combine buttermilk, rum, and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in another small bowl.
• Beat white and brown sugars with butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then all of the buttermilk mixture, and finally the remaining flour mixture until well combined. Divide cake batter evenly between the two pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven place on wire racks until completely cooled, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn one cake out onto a serving plate, then carefully turn second cake directly on top of the first.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a 10-inch heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle (I use a cast iron skillet), melt 1/2 cup butter over very low heat. Remove from heat, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over pan. Arrange pineapple slices to cover bottom of skillet. Distribute cherries around pineapple; set aside.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Separate the eggs into two bowls. In a large bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Beat until medium-stiff peaks form. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until very thick and yellow. With a wire whisk or rubber scraper, using an over-and-under motion, gently fold egg yolks and flour mixture into whites until blended. Fold in 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine and almond extract. Spread batter evenly over pineapple in skillet.
• Bake until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertip and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with table knife. Cool the cake for 5 minutes before inverting onto serving plate.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add the cherries and the spiced rum. In another bowl add the pineapple and the 3/4 cup of rum. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, add 1 3/4 sticks butter and the sugar and cream together until pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Stir in the eggs 1 at a time. Add the vanilla extract and set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
• In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, over medium heat, add the remaining 1/4 stick butter and heat until the butter has just melted. Add the brown sugar and using a slotted spoon, add the pineapple pieces, reserving the rum. Saute until they begin to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Add the cherries and the rum they soaked in. Remove the skillet from the heat and light the rum with a long kitchen match. When the flames subside, return the pan to the heat and cook until most of the alcohol has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool 6 to 10 minutes before adding the batter. Remove half the fruit back into the reserved rum for garnishing later.
• Add the batter to the skillet and put in the oven. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for about 5 minutes before unmolding. To unmold, run a small knife around the edge of the cake, take a large serving plate and put it over the cast iron skillet. Carefully flip over and let sit for a couple of minutes until it releases from the skillet.
• Put the creme fraiche in a small bowl and stir in the zests. Cut the cake into wedges and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and the reserved fruit.

• Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, invert onto a plate, and cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes on the top of the cake using a wooden skewer.
• While cake cools, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan for glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
