Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Written by Living the Gourmet, a trusted food and lifestyle site since 2008.

Perhaps this is the cake of life! Sometimes life seems to throw curve balls, (fast curve balls!) yet somehow you dodge them and don't really know how you did, since you are not the best of ball player.  I guess we do now how since perhaps the Dear Lord is actually catching them for us.

I wish all of you a beautiful weekend.


Ingredients:

For the Pineapples:

20 oz. can of pineapple chunks in heavy syrup
3 tbs. butter
½ cup brown sugar

For the Cake:

1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup reserved pineapple juice
2 tbs. butter
3 ½ cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
½ cup sour cream

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

Melt the butter with the brown sugar.   Distribute the pineapple chunks on the bottom of the baking pan.  Cover the pineapples with the melted butter and brown sugar.

In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.

In a mix master combine the butter and sugar; then add the eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract and reserved pineapple juice.

Distribute the batter over the pineapple chunks (I used a 9 x 12 baking pan, you may use a smaller baking pan and adjust the cooking time). 

Bake 35 - 40 minutes or until the toothpick test comes out clean.

Enjoy with Love,

Catherine

    Pineapple upside down cake is one of my all time favorites. Now I want one. I love that it's light, fluffy and yet most and fruity.
