How to Make Like Mom's Pineapple Upside Down Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe pan over low heat. Remove from heat.
- Evenly distribute 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar over the melted butter in the skillet.
- Arrange 20 oz (567g) can of pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar, ensuring even coverage.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/4 cup (57g) softened butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) pineapple juice from the can, 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (or more pineapple juice for a more intense pineapple flavor), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter over the pineapple in the skillet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving plate.
