Indulge in a slice of paradise with our Pineapple Upside

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

1. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour. Mix gently until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

Pour the cake batter carefully over the pineapple topping in the prepared pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before flipping.

Step 5: Flip & Serve

Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen it. Place a serving plate upside down over the pan and flip them together so the cake releases onto the plate. The pineapple topping should now be on top!

Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Serve warm or chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Tips for Success

• Use Fresh Pineapple : While canned works well, fresh pineapple adds unbeatable brightness and juiciness.
• Don’t Overmix the Batter : Stop stirring once the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense cake.
• Cool Before Flipping : Allowing the cake to rest ensures the topping doesn’t stick to the pan.
• Make It Gluten-Free : Swap all-purpose flour for a gluten-free blend and ensure other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
