Pineapple Upside Down Cake Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 12 cup unsalted butter
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices
- 1 12 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons cake flour
- 6 tablespoons ground almonds (from ~2 oz. of whole almonds)
- 34 teaspoon baking powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 34 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 4 large eggs
- 34 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 34 cup sour cream
- Start by making the caramel topping.
- Take brown sugar and butter and combine and melt in a saucepan on medium heat until sugar disolves and the mixture is bubbly.
- This should take several minutes.
- (After sugar melts, don't stir.)
- Pour mixture into a 10-inch diameter stick-free cake pan with 2 inch high sides.
- Arrange pineapple slices in a single layer on top of the caramel mixture.
- You should be able to fit about 7 slices.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Whisk the flours, almonds, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients alternately with sour cream in 2 additions each, beating well after each addition.
- Pour cake batter over caramel and pineapple in pan.
- Bake cake until tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes (mine was actually done in one hour, so check after one hour).
- Turn cake out onto platter.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
- BEWARE: some caramel might drip on the bottom of your oven while baking; I cleaned it up immediately after taking the cake out, scraping it off with a spatual--be careful!
- You know how hard it is to get that caramel off when it hardens:).
