Pineapple Upside Down Cake



This is another of my recipes which TL kindly partakes of for me.


2  tablespoons butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon water

Butter bottom of 9 inch square pan. Cover with brown sugar and add 1 tablespoon of water.



Next drain and lay out in bottom of baking pan, 9 sliced pineapple pieces, and then place one pitted cherry in the center of each slice.


1/4 cup butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2/3rds cup sugar


Cream and then mix in

2/3rds cup milk


Add


1 1/3rd cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Mix to smooth consistency


Carefully dab a heaping tablespoon on each top of the pineapple and cherries in the bottom of the pan. Fill in the remainder  between the slices. Again carefully so you do not lift the cherries from the pineapples, smooth with back of spoon the batter across the pan.

Bake for 35 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.


Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes.

Run knife around the edge of pan, place flat pan on top of cake pan, and with pot holders carefully flip the cake to right side up.
If you find that a few of the pineapples stick as the cake drops out, do not panic and simply use a spatula and lift them out and place in their spots on the cake and smooth out frosting.


This goes very well with homemade whipped cream of 2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1 tsp vanilla and 3/4's cup sugar.


Enjoy.
