Vegan Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Clean and core a medium sized pineapple, chop it up.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Mix dry ingredients, including chia seeds and spices, in mixing bowl.
• Combine juices and coconut oil (slightly warmed so the oil is liquid) in a separate bowl.
• Pour the wet into the dry and fold together.
• Pile pineapple chunks into a 10" x 4" glass baking pan, make sure to line the sides with some pieces of fruit to get extra caramelization goodness!
• Bake in the center of the oven for at least an hour, give it an extra 20-25 minutes if you want more crunchiness and pineapple oozey yumminess.
• Once the cake is golden all around, take out of the oven and let cool for an hour.
• Run a knife along the sides of the pan. Flip the cake upside down and cross your fingers! You now have a delicious animal-product-free baked deliciousness to enjoy!
• Serve with a topping of vegan coconut vanilla ice cream!

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:

• Pour the syrup into the bottom of a microwave-safe mug wide enough to fit the pineapple ring. Put the pineapple ring in the mug and put the cherry in the middle of the ring.
• Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Mix the milk, yogurt and coconut oil in a small bowl to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
• Spread the batter over the pineapple. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the cake is slightly domed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 90 seconds. Cool slightly; the cake should easily pull away from the sides of the mug. Invert the cake onto a plate and uncover. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

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 (175 degrees C).
• Drain pineapple juice from the can into a 1-cup liquid measure and add enough water to make 1 cup; set aside. Dump pineapple chunks into the bottom of a 12-inch springform pan and sprinkle brown sugar over top.
• Combine pineapple juice mixture with oil, vanilla, and vinegar in a bowl.
• Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Mix in wet ingredients, stirring quickly to combine and get out any big lumps. Pour into the the pan on top of the pineapples and brown sugar.
• Bake until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 35 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan, about 30 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake from the pan, then remove the side ring. Place a serving plate on top and flip cake over. Remove the pan bottom and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Once it melts, stir in the brown sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts, about two minutes. Remove from heat and add the drained sliced pineapple. Place maraschino cherries in pineapple holes. Spread drained crushed pineapple into the crevices and over the top. Use it all!
• To a large mixing bowl, add the applesauce, canola oil, sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla. Mix until combined. Place a fine-mesh sieve over the top of the bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt and sift over the wet ingredients. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the dry ingredients with the wet until incorporated.
• Spread the batter evenly over the top of the pineapple.
• Bake for about 35 minutes, until the cake begins to turn golden brown on the top and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake layer comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Time to flip! Have a large cake plate or tray ready. Loosen the sides of the cake with a butter knife. Place the platter upside down over the top of the skillet and quickly flip the skillet over, inverting the cake onto the platter.
• Serve immediately (vegan vanilla ice cream or vegan whipped cream are great partners!) or let cool completely then refrigerate until ready to serve. Cake keeps well in the fridge for up 2-3 days.

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.
