Today was a lazy day for me. I feel like a vampire came in and sucked the life out of me..lol.. But in my family when you say your gonna do something you have to follow through, if not everyone will playfully and with love of course, break your stones... So after my parents made an amazing pot roast for dinner my husband started and then my brother-in-law started to make little funny comments about how great that pineapple upside down cake tastes, lol. After that the rest of the family started in on me, so at about 7p.m. I went to the kitchen in preparation of the cake....
While I was in the kitchen I looked at the fruit bowl sitting on my counter top, an idea jumped into my head as I glared upon an orange. What if I put an orange in my Pineapple Upside Down Cake . So after about ten minutes and a whole lot of thought I said what the heck, whats the worst that could happen...lol...
Usually, when I am baking I am running around the kitchen like crazy measuring things while I am adding them to the mixing bowl. Today I tried things a little differently... I pre-measured ingredients before I started to make things a little easier for myself tonight. What a blessing that turned out to be and made for an easy clean up as well. I think I'll be remembering that one...
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
9 slices pineapple
1 orange (optional)
9 jarred cherries without stem (drained
1 1/3 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
***NOTE : If you do use the orange make sure to get as much of the rime off of it as possible before you add it, for this will make the cake very bitter.
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees melt butter in oven in 9 inch pan, (don't over heat the butter). Sprinkle brown sugar over melted butter evenly over the whole pan. Arrange pineapple slices and orange slices over the brown sugar butter mix and place cherry in center of pineapples.
2. In medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and egg on low scraping bowl constantly for 30 seconds.. Beat on high for about 2-3 minutes scraping sides occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple, orange and cherries
3. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. When you take it out immediately place a heatproof plate upside down over pan and turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake a few minutes so brown sugar mixture can drizzle over....Serve warm!
No sooner did I have this magnificent cake plated there was the love of my life standing behind me with a look of a child. He was like being a big silly goof waiting for it to cool down enough for us to cut into. Meanwhile, the whole time him and my dad are play arguing over which one was going to eat it all. After it cooled down enough we sat down and enjoyed a nice warm piece of Orange Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Everyone thought that it was very very good... My husband said it brought him back to when he was a kid and his grandmother used to make all the time....
Until tomorrow be safe, happy and well!
