Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com

Recipe here: www.joyofbaking... Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a throwback to the 1920s. A time when canned pineapple was all the rage. One look at this cake and you can see why it was so popular. It is lovely, glistening slices of sweet and sticky caramelized pineapple sitting happily on top of a fluffy white butter cake.

Made this for my sister's birthday. I used canned pineapple. Replaced about half the milk with pineapple juice. Turned out perfect. Not a crumb was left. Thank you for all of your recipes and the time it takes to make these videos. People think I'm a great baker because of you.😂

[@86vaishnavi]

I made this last evening for a friend's birthday and all I can say is there is hardly anything left! It turned out beautifully and clean from the pan. The color, taste and feel.. was really lovely biting into a beautiful cake. Friends loved it and could not stop praising :) Thanks a lot

[@EmCSquarey]

That's a lot of fussing for an upside-down pineapple cake

[@nazhataysha1856]

I simply love the simple way in which you teach.....no unnecessary talk...and ofcourse the precise measurements too.

[@redhousepress]

This is such a wonderful recipe. Even though I'm a pretty good cook in my late 60s, Ive never properly learned to bake. I think that baking is something that one starts early in life and my mom never allowed me mess up the kitchen with flour, butter and sugar and she never baked. Lately Ive been learning with your help and I made this cake for my 92 year old dad and he actually swooned and ate every tiny crumb on the plate. We all loved it. Its such simple and delicious cake with an interesting history. I learned that long before we had affordable and easy access to fresh or canned pineapple in the US, "upsidedown" cakes like this were made with other fruits...pears, prunes,apples, cherries, apricots etc... They were called skillet cakes or "spider" cakes because old cast iron skillets had legs on them and they were called "spiders".....anyway. This has opened up a wonderful new world to me. A simple delicious buttery yellow cake with seasonal fruits! My next project will be a "lemon upside down cake". I'm going to use very thinly slices of Meyer lemons and some lemon juice in the batter. Ill keep you posted with results. Many Many Many thanks to you for guiding me into the Joy of Baking!

[@cynthiaa.4826]

Thank you for that little bit of history. :-)

Hi Stephanie, Just finished your recipe for this Cake. I took a Risk on a Wing & a Prayer & doubled the recipe for a 9+x13+ Glass Baking Dish. Took me the Novis But A Determined One LOL nearly 2 hrs in Prep , mix and Pop into the oven, Looks and Batter tastes amazing, In the Oven now, will check at 45 mins etc. Wish me luck, I so enjoyed the entire process of Making your Recipe. Happy Holiday Friend of mine, Best Baker ever!

[@Kis-met]

Whatever recipes I've tried so far , they've come out really good. Based on a few comments, I used pineapple juice from the can instead of milk. The flavour was very nice. Also, i didn't have the patience to separate the eggs...in spite of which the cake still came out perfectly. Thanks for posting this.

[@m.mehdbhatti2338]

Hi Stephanie I made this recipe in a cast iron skillet I made the sauce in the skillet At first, the butter and sugar separated. So i added a splash of milk That really combined the sauce togather and it tasted delicious Overall, the whole cake was absolutely amazing Everyone in my family loved it!

[@CaneerCakewithPassion]

Thank you , you are one of my favorite bakers all of your recipes work perfectly

[@joemalone6962]

This is so true.her recipe never fails

[@pprasad2799]

Baked this cake yesterday and it came out perfect. Beating the egg whites and folding them in was well worth the effort! The cake was super moist and fluffy. Thank you Stephanie for such a wonderful recipe.

[@rosemary-qv9zh]

I've used this recipe at least 5 times. It is a huge hit with the family and my neighbors. Thank you for this recipe that never goes wrong for even a beginner like me.

[@hozkul]

Bon appetit :) Does it make any difference to use fresh pineapples instead of canned?

[@herschellepinto2568]

I was a kid when I started seeing your channel nearly 6-8 years back and I remember I tried out your Apple pie recipe. That was such a hit! I have tried many recipes of yours in the past and it's always fool proof! Love to see your Channel grow. Gonna make this again this week.. 😄😄 Also, your kitchen is really amazing! 😍

[@eli_x_s]

I made this recipe yesterday and it was delicious, the butter and sugar on top of the pineapple made it taste amazing. Definitely going to do this recipe again. Thanks

I have always loved my Moms Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, Its still one of my favorites. My great grandmother used a cast iron skillet for everything including for this recipe as well. My Mom and I work in a hospital and we take turns on Sundays doing potluck and whenever my Mom make this cake, it would be gone in minutes…Everyone truly enjoyed it. Thanks for making such a favorite of ours Stephanie! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

This is one recipe I've tried to find for so long. It was one of my favorites as a child. I enjoy your channel so much I like the way you cook traditional and with fresh ingredients. You go over everything step by step with perfection, like my home economics teacher in high school. Thanks !

[@Sunshine6Lemons]

Perfect doesn't even describe how good this cake is. Your recipes are flawless! Thank you!

[@BlueCollarMoto]

100% the best recipe for pineapple upside down I have done yet. Thank you! When I was a kid in Chicago, my parents would go out to eat not that often, at some place, and they would bring back the most delicious PUSD cake you could imagine. This is just like that! If you had one made like this as a kid, then this would be your favorite cake. A proper moist Tierra Masue takes a second place, and everything else does not compare. Made two of these tonight. Looking forward to a slice after cooled.

[@r.thomassen6285]

I made this recipe today. I reduced the sugar in the batter from 200 to 160 grams, and made 25% less caramel for the bottom of the pan. Since maraschino cherries are difficult to find in my country, and if you find them they are called coctail berries and costs a fortune for a tiny, tiny glass. So I bought some cherry jam and added a teaspoon for each hole in the pineapple rings. That was not a good idea, so don't do that. But, the cake sponge itself was fabulous! So airy and light in texture, and still very moist. A very, very good recipe! Thank you! Tomorrow I will make a pound cake and use this recipe for it, just without the pineapple and caramel on top. I really liked how the sponge became. And I love your channel! Why? Two important things: First, you also have the measurements in grams, millilitres, centimetres and so on, so that us Europeans can make your recipes easily. Second, you have looong videos, which is so much more informative than all those 30 second to maximum 2 minute videos that are overflowing KZbin. It is possible to learn a lot from your videos, and that is great! Especially for a novice baker like me, that does lots of mistakes and makes a huge mess, almost always. But thanks to my brand new Kenwood stand mixer, I can at least cream butter and sugar together properly. That so called "creaming beater", which is Kenwoods scraper beater, really does a great job! So I would highly recommend that one, for those of you with a Kenwood/DeLonghi mixer.

[@AncyAlexander]

I baked this for my husband's birthday today. I added a pinch of cardamom powder and also about a quarter cup of pineapple juice. It was delicious! The cake itself is slightly on the drier side but I think it's because I should've taken it out of the oven sooner. Thanks for the recipe!

[@avisingh1971]

Hi Stephanie I baked this cake today and it came out unbelievably delicious super soft and crunchy....it looks beautiful too; all your cake recipes are brilliant and I love trying them👌👌 Thanks for your wonderful recipes and videos🥰🥰

[@indradevi852]

Hi,I am from Malaysia.I made your pine-apple upside down cake with mango.It's good n my 16 year old grand-daughter loved it very much.How ever I personally think that I must cut down on the sugar the next time I make this mango upside down cake,1/2 cup of brown sugar for topping n a bit less than 1 cup sugar for the cake. Tq for sharing!

[@queencleo1151]

[@kristinikm6856]

Hello from Romania!! I just made this cake today and it came out amazing!!! I used whole flour instead of all purpose flour and it is yummyyy! :)

[@nereyes3]

Just made this recipe and it came out delicious! I just did a few things different, I used canned pineapple instead, and in pineapple syrup added 1/2 cup of water and let it simmer until it was syrupy... and to the batter I added a teaspoon of baking power and pinch of salt. I also don't own a whisk machine or anything similar, so I whipped everything with a fork :). So proud of how this turned out!

[@namishkulshreshtha5607]

You’re a genius Ma’am. I am searching upside down cakes now and find that you have a decade old video of tge same😂😂

Great recipe, thanks. Brought back a lot of childhood memories. I actually used Demerara sugar, also made a mistake and didn't cream together the butter and sugar first but mixed in with the flour first, but came out great, and out of the pan perfectly

[@TheVampireCuppycake]

I've never made a cake from scratch like this.... I've always used the boxed cake mixes like Duncan Hines or Pilsbury cause its faster for me, but this.......... This actually looks really super good and easy. Think I'll use this recipe for a birthday cake that someone wants me to make for them. :)

[@AKitchenAdvisor]

Looks yummy:-) The recipe is explained step by step. Lovely and entertaining presentation !!! Happy cooking...

[@joanchua296]

Tried this today and it was so good! Thank you so much!

[@cheshkat6321]

Yesterday, I finally found an oven safe dish that fits in my Instant Pot pressure cooker, so I can make this pineapple upside down cake in my pressure cooker. I found a recipe specifically for pressure cookers, but used a store bought cake mix. So, I just substituted this recipe, using the timing from the other recipe. The foil cover stuck to the cake a little but as it is the bottom of the cake, once flipped, no worries. With the extra batter, I made two small pineapple upside down cakes in the oven that I gobbled up with a friend already. I loved how soft, like a pillow, the crumb of this cake was. Next time, I'll double this recipe, make both a oven version and a pressure cooker version of the same sizes, and simultaneously to compare. Now I'm about to make a quick batch of ice cream in my blender to enjoy with more of this cake tonight after supper.

[@sammas8480]

Hi Stephanie, I made it for our new year in Sri Lanka. I think your recipe is special. It came out nicely. Thank you

[@jeyalakshmi8234]

I tried this recipe today. It turned out beautifully. However, it is too sweet. I now have to look for low sugar recipes as we have one diabetic and one insulin-intolerant person in my family. Perhaps Stephanie can come up with some recipes for such people.

[@NinaNinaNB]

Stephanie, thanks so much for this one. I have baked this cake a few times before, but I never separate the whites/yolks... I'm sure the results are much better this way. Thanks for the tip, I will try it next time. And! you are the only person (I've ever seen) to get all the pineapple pieces in one go! wow, so professional. Thanks so much Ps: there wont be any leftovers of this cake :)

[@yvonnepoitier7365]

Stephanie did me wrong, we all want a cherry in the slice we cut. As a child that was one of the highlights of the cake, having round pineapples with a cherry in the middle. I wish Stephanie could shove a slice of that through my screen. I have not had that in years. Excellent job, as usual!! 👌 2020!!

[@milesia1269]

Woooooow I just made this and it is freaking amazing.

[@umairabanu2953]

Hello Stephanie,I tried this again today and it is just perfect, I didn't caramelize the sugar this time. , instead, sprinkled sugar over melted butter and I used half dark brown and half granulated sugar.

I would think you could brush the pineapple slices with some cherry liqueur either before or after baking.

[@sharon94503]

If you use the reverse creaming method, mixing the butter with the dry ingredients until crumbly, then add the wet and beat until fluffy, the fat will coat the flour and prevent gluten from forming, making for a tender crumb.
