This cake is called Upside down cake because after making it, you turn it over and the bottom become the top of the cake - no decoration needed.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup butter
  • 8 Pineapple rings
  • Glace (cocktail) cherries 8-15
For Cake
  • Flour 250g (8oz) 
  • Butter 250g (8oz) 
  • Sugar 250g (8oz) 
  • Eggs 4
  • Baking Powder  2 tsp

Process:

Pineapple base: Use a 9" solid bottom cake tin or a oven proof dish, butter the sides. 
  • Add ½ cup butter and ½ cup sugar and melt over gentle heat and let it spread on the base
  • Lay pineapple rings on over the base and place a glace cherry in each pineapple ring. You can also place some in between the gaps.
Sponge cake:
  • Turn the oven on to 200c
  • Mix Flour, Butter, Sugar, Eggs and Baking powder in a food processor or with a hand mixer until smooth.
  • Pour over the pineapple base. 
  • Put it in the oven for 30 minutes
  • Test by inserting a tooth pick in the middle of the cake, if it comes out dry, it's done, if not, put it back for another 5 minutes.
  • Let it cool a little, when just warm turn it upside down

Will go very well with some icecream!
