Pineapple Upside Down Carrot Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then grease & flour a 13"x9" glass baking dish.
• FOR THE TOPPING: Spread melted butter evenly into bottom of prepared baking dish.
• Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over melted butter.
• Arrange pineapple slices over brown sugar & place a cherry in center of each slice.
• FOR THE CAKE: In large bowl, whisk or sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon & salt, then set aside.
• In medium bowl, beat eggs, then add oil, buttermilk, sugar & vanilla, blending well.
• Add egg mixture to dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
• Stir in crushed pineapple, carrots, walnuts, coconut & raisins, mixing well.
• Pour into prepared baking dish & bake at least 65-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.
• FOR THE GLAZE: About 10 minutes before cake is done, in saucepan mix sugar, buttermilk, baking soda, corn syrup & butter.
• Bring to boil & boil 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat & add vanilla.
• Remove cake from oven & with a skewer or knife poke a number of holes into the hot cake, making sure holes reach bottom of cake.
• Slowly pour hot glaze over hot cake, carefully spreading it all over cake until it is absorbed.
• Let cake cool 15-20 minutes on wire rack, then carefully invert it into a 15"x10" baking dish [or onto large platter].
• Refrigerate when completely cooled. DO NOT REHEAT!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter just the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan.
• For the caramel topping: Microwave the butter, brown sugar and lemon juice in a small microwave-safe bowl until melted. Spread the mixture over the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange the carrot ribbons on top.
• For the cake: Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet, and bake until nicely toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk together with the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and allspice; set aside.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the lemon zest. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition and scraping down the side of the bowl as needed (it's okay if the batter looks slightly separated and broken). Reduce the mixer speed to low, and add 1/2 the flour mixture, then the sour cream, then the remaining flour.
• Pour the batter over the carrots in the cake pan, spread it into an even layer and give the pan a few taps on the counter. Bake the cake until it's golden brown and pulls away from the edge and a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack until just cool enough to handle, about 30 minutes. Invert a serving platter over the cake pan and, while holding them together, quickly flip them over so the cake unmolds, carrot-side up. Let cool completely. Cut into wedges, and serve.

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.
• Put the chopped pineapple in a baking dish, cover with foil and roast in the oven until soft and lightly golden brown. Leave the oven at 350 degrees F.
• Put the sugar, vanilla bean and 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until it turns a light caramel. Add the chopped pineapple, cream, salt and arbol and cook until slightly reduced. Let cool for about 5 minutes before adding it to a blender. Remove the vanilla bean, then carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a medium mesh strainer into a bowl. Return the mixture to the saucepan and reduce it to a sauce consistency. Pour the caramel into a seasoned 10-inch cast iron pan and let cool slightly. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the caramel and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl once. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until each is incorporated.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, rum, vanilla extract and vanilla seeds in a measuring cup. Alternate the dry and wet ingredients starting and ending with the flour and mix until just combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Pour the batter over the pineapple in the cast iron pan and bake until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a large platter. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add half of the melted butter to the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Drain the pineapple rings and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice. 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 oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and sugar a 9 by 2-inch round baking pan or 6 ramekins (4-inch diameter).
• Melt 1/2 stick butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Heat until butter begins to turn brown. Remove pan from heat, add vinegar and brown sugar, and mix well. (A sauce whisk is a good tool to use here.) Return to heat to melt sugar, if necessary.
• Pour a little of the brown sugar sauce in the bottom of the ramekins or baking pan. Cut each pineapple ring into pieces, maintaining the shape of the ring (see Chef's Note). Add 1 pineapple ring to each ramekin or line the bottom of the large pan with pineapple. Add mango around the pineapple.
• Drizzle pineapple with remaining brown sugar sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
• Make the batter:
• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Put 1 stick of softened butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium to high speed with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add 1/2 cup superfine sugar and beat very well, until mixture is white and very light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Alternately mix 1/3 cup milk, then 1/3 of flour mixture into butter-egg mixture in 3 portions. Do not overmix.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites with clean beaters or a balloon whisk. When whites begin to foam, add remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and beat until they hold soft peaks. Scrape 1/2 the whites into batter and mix gently until blended. Fold in remaining whites carefully, until just blended.
• Divide batter among ramekins or pour into baking pan. (If using ramekins, place them on a baking sheet.) Place cake in preheated oven. Bake until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 20 to 30 minutes for individual cakes or about 50 minutes for the large cake. Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes in the pan. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake(s) and invert onto deep dessert plates or a deep platter (otherwise, the sweet syrup may overflow the plate!).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter in a lightly greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a 9-inch round cake pan (with sides that are at least 2 inches high) over low heat.
• Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle with brown sugar.
• Arrange 7 pineapple slices in a single layer over brown sugar, reserving remaining pineapple slices for another use.
• Place 1 cherry in center of each pineapple slice.
• Beat granulated sugar, oil, and eggs at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended.
• Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; gradually add to sugar mixture, beating at low speed just until blended.
• Stir in carrots and pecans. Spoon batter over pineapple slices.
• Bake at 350° for 45 to 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool in skillet on a wire rack 10 minutes.
• Carefully run a knife around edge of cake to loosen.
• Invert cake onto a serving plate, spooning any topping in skillet over cake.

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
• Pour juice off can of pineapple into 1 cup measuring cup--it should be about 3/4 cup juice. Add water to make 1 cup.
• In a separate bowl, combine apple sauce, lemon juice and juice water.
• Dump pineapple chunks into the bottom of a 12 inch spring form pan (you could use an 8x8 or other sized spring form, just adjust cooking time).
• Sprinkle with brown sugar.
• Quickly mix wet ingredients into dry, stirring quickly to combine ingredients well and get out the big lumps.
• Pour into pan on top of the pineapple/brown sugar mix.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Let cool and loosen sides of cake from pan. Place serving plate on top of cake.
• Flip cake over onto serving plate and remove pan bottom.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• For the topping, beat 50g softened butter and 50g light soft brown sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base and a quarter of the way up the sides of a 20cm round cake tin. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on top (reserving the syrup for later), then place 7 glacé cherries in the centres of the rings.
• Place 100g softened butter, 100g golden caster sugar, 100g self-raising flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 eggs in a bowl along with 2 tbsp of the reserved pineapple syrup. Using an electric whisk, beat to a soft consistency.
• Spoon into the tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it's level. Bake for 35 mins. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out onto a plate. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease & flour a 13"x9" baking dish, preferably glass.
• In a large bowl, whisk or sift together flour, soda, cinnamon & salt.
• In a medium bowl, beat eggs, then add oil, buttermilk, sugar & vanilla, & blend well.
• Add this egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly, then stir in the pineapple, carrots, valnuts, coconut & raisins, & mix well.
• Pour into prepared baking dish & bake at least 65-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• For the glaze-- 10 MINUTES BEFORE THE CAKE IS DONE-- in a saucepan mix the sugar, soda, buttermilk, corn syrup & butter, then bring to a boil & boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat & add vanilla.
• Remove the cake from the oven & with a skewer or knife poke a number of holes into the hot cake, making sure the holes reach the bottom of the cake.
• Slowly pour the hot glaze over the hot cake, carefully spreading it all over the top of the cake, until it is absorbed.
• Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate. DO NOT REHEAT THE CAKE!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Put 2 blobs of Coconut Oil on the bottom of your baking pan. Put in oven that is preheating for about a minute or less (just to melt it).
• Remove from oven. Sprinkle on brown sugar until Coconut oil is absorbed.
• Sprinkle on pecan halves & coconut flakes according to preference.
• Spread drained pineapple chunks over mixture, reserve a few chunks in the juice to add to cake batter later.
• Cake Batter:.
• Combine Carrot Cake mix, french vanilla pudding, and pineapple juice (use it to replace the amount of water recommended on the box. Higher altitudes may call for more juice than you have, make up the difference with water).
• Add Coconut oil according to amount recommended on box (high altitude climates need less).
• Put pecans in a bag and use a hard object to smash them into smaller pieces. Add to batter.
• Mix. Add 3 eggs. Mix some more.
• When done, pour over the mixture in your baking dish, pop in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, and viola! Done!
• Buen Provecho! :).
