Ingredients
Serves: 16
- 4 eggs
- 125g butter
- 200g light brown sugar
- 1,420g or similar weight can sliced pineapple
- 10 glace cherries, halved
- 155g (1¼ cups) self-raising flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 220g (1 cup) caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon almond essence
Preparation method
Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 35 minutes1.
Preheat the oven to 160 C.
2.
In a 25cm heavy frying pan, melt butter over very low heat. Remove from heat, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over pan. Arrange pineapple slices to cover bottom. Distribute cherries around pineapple.
3.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
4.
Separate the eggs into two bowls. In a large bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form. Add caster sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Beat until stiff peaks form.
5.
In a small bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until very thick and yellow. With a spatula, using an over-and-under motion, gently fold egg yolks and flour mixture into whites until blended.
6.
Fold in melted butter and almond extract. Spread batter evenly over pineapple in frying pan.
7.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertip. Loosen the edges of the cake with knife. Cool the cake for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.

The cake was a little denser than i'm used to but all in all the cake was a success. It tasted quite good! It is not, however, quick to make. Set aside an evening.

This is by far the tastiest, moistest, most delicious pineapple upside down cake I have ever made or eaten. I did nothing to change it; it is perfect when made exactly as directed.

This recipe sounded like it would be great, unfortunately it was not! It took way more than the listed time to cook and it was not very tasty at all...kind of bland actually.
