Hawaiian Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

A tropical twist on the classic upside-down cake, featuring juicy pineapple rings and a caramelized brown sugar topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple rings, drained
  • 10 maraschino cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour melted butter into a 9-inch round cake pan and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
  2. Arrange pineapple rings over the brown sugar mixture, placing a cherry in the center of each ring.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat granulated sugar, milk, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Pour batter evenly over pineapple arrangement.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
