Scout Camp Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In an ungreased 9-in. square baking pan, combine butter and brown sugar. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice. Arrange 9 pineapple slices in a single layer over sugar (refrigerate any remaining slices for another use). Sprinkle pecans over pineapple; set aside. , In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Blend in vanilla and reserved pineapple juice. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to batter, beating well. , In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Spoon into pan., Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before inverting onto serving plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice. If desired, serve with whipped topping.

Steps:

• Place 1 teaspoon butter in 1 side of sandwich iron. Hold over fire to melt; remove from fire. Carefully sprinkle 1 tablespoon brown sugar over melted butter. Top with pineapple ring; add cherry to center of pineapple. Top with cake (flat side up); close iron. , Cook pineapple side down over a hot campfire until brown sugar is melted and cake is heated through, 5-8 minutes. Invert iron to open, and serve cake on an individual plate.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch diameter, 2 1/2-inch tall round cake pan.
• Stir brown sugar and melted butter together in a bowl. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Place pieces of pineapple on top of brown sugar mixture and around the outer edge of the pan, all facing the same way. Place 2 pieces in the center. Place a cranberry between each pineapple piece.
• Beat white sugar and softened butter together using an electric mixer in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Pour in baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
• Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup milk to batter at a time, mixing well after each batch until thoroughly blended.
• Pour batter over pineapple slices, making sure batter gets between them. Spread and smooth batter using an offset spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Remove cake from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen. Place a plate over the cake pan and quickly invert, waiting a few seconds for it to fall if it doesn't immediately separate from the pan.

Steps:

• Spread butter onto the cut-sides of each doughnut half. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter. Sandwich a pineapple ring between the halves of each doughnut.

• Cook by placing pouches near a campfire until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Slice cakes into 12 even pieces.
• Tear 12 equally sized pieces of heavy duty aluminum foil (I always use Reynolds as what passes for "heavy duty" in the store brand variety is somthing a kin to tissue paper).
• Spray each piece of foil with cooking spray.
• Place 1 slice of cake on each piece of foil.
• Top each piece of cake with a heaping tablespoon of pineapple.
• Place one tablespoon of brown sugar and one tablespoon of butter on top of pineapple.

• Seal each doughnut tightly in foil.
• Lay over medium coals for about 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through. Open carefully as it will be very hot.
