Ingredients
Fruit Base
¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter
⅔ cup (140 g) packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice
5-6 slices tinned, or 4-5 fresh pineapple rings
Cake
¾ cup (175 ml) buttermilk
⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 ½ cup (225 g) all-purpose flour
¾ cup (150 g) sugar
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
½ tsp (2 g) salt
¼ tsp (1 g) baking soda
⅒ tsp (less than 1 g) ground nutmeg
½ cup (50 g) sweetened flaked coconut
Fruit Base Cake Assembly
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).
2. Place a 9-inch ovenproof skillet on a burner on medium heat. Melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted and bubbling. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the pan from the heat. Arrange the pineapple slices in this syrup so they are close together but not overlapping. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. Add this to the buttermilk mixture and whisk until just blended. Stir in coconut. Pour the batter over the pineapple slowly (so as not to shift the fruit). Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. If using fresh pineapple, the cake may need an extra 5-10 minutes baking time. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes in the pan. Place a serving plate over the cake and invert the pan, lifting it to reveal the pineapple now on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I usually watch videos with no sound to avoid unnecessary chatter. But you talk about all the right and necessary things. Awesome channel!❤️

[@jengschannel1282]

I really love how you give instructions on how to bake. It makes baking easy

[@tellthetruthna8523]

I made this tonight but substituted 3 fresh sliced pears for the pineapple. (Almost any fruit would be yummy.) It's the best upside-down cake recipe ever. Using oil instead of butter in the batter really makes a difference. I also tossed some pecans on top of the pears because my family likes a little crunch in their desserts. BTW, if you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make your own by stirring in about a tablespoon of lemon juice per 1 cup milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and you have buttermilk.

[@ohyum]

Great tip! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@erniegervacio576]

Pineapple upside down cake has been one of my favorite cake since childhood. Since it's my birthday today, I baked this cake and treated myself with a wonderful dessert. Thank you Anna for this simple but delicious recipe. Looking forward to try and bake more cakes from your recipe book. Stay safe and stay healthy... always. ✌❤🙏👏

[@karendagostino1953]

I just want to say, I use to watch Anna Olsen on tv, and now since I can't do that I'm glad I can watch her on U Tube so Thank You.

[@ohyum]

Great to have you in the Oh Yum family Karen!

[@marieparadiso4687]

One of my favorite cakes thank you Anna for sharing ❤ love what you do 😊

[@TheBluewaterBlonde]

My Dad grew up in the 1930's and 1940's and this was his favorite cake. My grandmother used to make this cake in an old black cast iron pan and she taught me how to make the cake. I am wondering why there isn't a cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring as this was everyone's favorite part of the cake?

[@chrissypena-leyendecker5263]

Cherries & toasted pecan halves anywhere you can crowd them! 😋

[@shafaqqaiser9473]

Thanks for the recipe, Anna! I just tried it today and had amazing results. Easy to make, delicious, and looked beautiful as well.

[@tamaramorton8812]

I would've never thought of the lemon juice juice or the ladle! Great to know. Thank you. One of my favorite cakes to eat but I've been baking it for 20+ years and it never, not once, has turned out as good as my mothers and I'm not being picky. I have hopes for this recipe, though. 👍🏼

[@jeannegallegos8410]

This is an old way of baking cakes & cornbreads (biscuits too I think) from colonial times. Probably before then.

[@cvipasha]

Superb... Light and hassle free recipe❤️❤️

[@biancabianchi2223]

Wow that looks incredibly delicious 😋😋😋

[@iceprincess9324]

I love your show . It always makes me want to lick my screen. Especially the cookies , they looked tasty.

[@jamesmorgan66]

love the help

[@judycolson6047]

What a nice way to make pineapple upside down cake. I like the fact that you used fresh pineapple instead of canned. I also like that you added coconut to the cake batter. Actually if you put a little rum flavoring or even rum itself in the cake batter or the caramel sauce, you could call it a piña colada upside down cake! My husband is requesting one of his favorites cakes so I think I will try your recipe. Thank you very much.

[@neinundnein6358]

A very pleasant presentation: not too much, just what is needed.

[@mariasciberras3423]

[@SW-ci6jv]

I have eaten plum upside down cake which has ground almond in it. I have been looking for a similar recipe since then. Can you share such a recipe, Anna? Thank you in advance 😘

[@chillyandvanillabyChefKriti]

Hi Anna, Thanks for such an amazing recipe! The cake turned out amazingly good! I have a question though and need your help. I tried this recipe and since I didn't have ready to use butter milk, I substituted it with 3/4th cup room temperature milk and 3/4th tbsp vinegar mix, after it curdled. I did not have sweetened coconut flakes too, so skipped them. The cake batter was not as thick as yours and it was quite liquidy. It took about 60 mins to bake and the top part while baking still required more baking.. I feel all this was because the batter wasn't as thick as yours. Could you plz correct me whr I cud be wrong..plz help. Thanks Kriti

[@ChefJojoTV]

Yummy do simple to prepare the ingredients

[@lovelicyisaac831]

Love your kitchen! Gonna try this recipe, but it'll be a debate with the grandbabies, if they'll want the coconut. I've never had it in P.A. Upside Down Cake recipes I've used.

Excellent presentation. Today I made one and used sour cream as an egg substitute along with gluten free flour. Mmmmm, mmm! So easy to make and so delicious.

[@janakimanish3361]

Could you specify the quantity of sour cream used? TIA
