The Holidays Are Coming! Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Greetings! Recently when I uploaded my chocolate biscotti video, I received a comment from elinorsantiago21, asking me if I had a good recipe for pineapple upside down cake because she wanted to make something different for dessert for her Thanksgiving feast. Well, she must have been reading my mind, because I had been thinking about showing everyone how to make this super easy recipe for a while now.

You will see that it starts with a pineapple cake mix. You can substitute yellow if you cannot find the pineapple, and a hint, the only company that makes the pineapple cake mix is Duncan Hines. Add in 1 cup of reserved pineapple juice from the cans of pineapple rings, 1/2 cup oil, 4 eggs, 1 small box of vanilla instant pudding and mix everything together. Then melt one stick of butter place in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking pan or divide between 2 9 inch round cake pans (note; do not use 8 inch cake pans for this it will bake over and make a huge mess of your oven). Add in 1 cup of brown sugar and mix well until it looks like a caramel in the bottom of the pan. Place 12 pineapple rings on top of the sugar/butter mixture and place one stemmed maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Gently pour the cake batter over the pineapple rings and spread to the corners to even out the batter. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to break any air bubbles and place in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Check to make sure the cake if firm. If you touch it lightly and it springs back, the cake is done, if you check with a toothpick inserted in the center it should come out clean. My cake took 40 minutes to bake. Invert on to a tray and allow to cool completely. This cake is best served at room temperature and can be eaten warm but tastes better completely cooled.

I hope you try this and I hope you enjoy it! As always, Happy Eating!

This is really simple...*turns to 50 ingredients*

[atticus9799]

@xInstinctful Seriously? 9 ingredients is not 50, you must have misread something. If you don't want to make it than don't, but if you want a pineapple upside down cake recipe with 2 ingredients here is one for you. 1 go to store, 2 buy one. But you are not going to get one as good as this. Thanks for commenting and watching. Noreen : )

Unhealthy food is unhealthy...

[atticus9799]

@m8rox Why would you post that as a comment? If you don't want to eat something, don't eat it. If you don't like the video than don't watch it. Why would you watch a video for this cake if you didn't think it was healthy? Or am I missing your point altogether?

I made this cake for superbowl. Was a little nervous having never tried it. I wasn't sure if I needed to grease the pan. I didn't the butter did a good job of preventing any sticking. Amazing cake! This recipe has given me the confidence to branch out and try new recipes espically using pudding along with the batter. Makes it amazing and moist! Thank You Noreen amazing recipe!

@jalkbc1980 im only 16 but i believe butter will brown it aka burn it faster. ill say use vegetable oil, my uncle uses flour. but i do not recommend butter..

[jalkbc1980]

I'm really excited to make this tomorrow. My only question is do I need to grease the pan or will the butter do a good enough job of preventing any sticking?

Thanks so much for providing a video of your recipe. I made this for Christmas, and everyone loved it so much that there was nothing left for me . I will be doing it again real soon and hopefully I will be able to enjoy it. Thanks Again.!!!

I've been craving this cake, so happy to find a recipe on your channel! Mine is in the oven now and my house is smelling wonderful. And I get the whole thing for myself, hubby doesn't like it. If you were my neighbor I'd invite you, Rick and the girls over for dessert!
