Class Title
66 Pineapple Upside-down Cake
Ingredients Needed:
For the Cake
75g self-raising flour 85g margarine, from the fridge
75g caster sugar 1 large egg, beaten
1 tbsp pineapple juice
For the Topping
50g light muscovado sugar 2 glacé cherries, halved
227g can pineapple slices, drained
2 glacé cherries, halved
Method
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) or 160°C for a fan oven. Grease a 7-inch round cake tin well; do not use a tin with a removable base to avoid syrup leakage.
- In a bowl, combine all the cake ingredients. Beat them with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Sprinkle the light muscovado sugar evenly over the bottom of the greased tin. Arrange four pineapple rings on top of the sugar, placing a halved glacé cherry in the centre of each ring.
- Carefully spoon the cake mixture over the pineapple and cherries, spreading it evenly and leveling the top.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the cake is well risen, golden brown, and springs back when gently pressed in the centre.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 20 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate to display the pineapples beautifully on top.
