Let’s take a basic cake and switch it on its head – so to talk. I might prefer to
introduce you to the Pineapple Upside-Down BUNDT Cake.
When a good friend requested for a tackle the basic, my thoughts went
straight to Bundt. It is a pure match! Aren’t ALL bundt muffins upside-down
muffins, actually?
Additionally, please inform me you have tried this
Pineapple Cream Tiramisu I made again in 2018.
Ohmygosh.
After years of pondering Bundt muffins have been heavy and stodgy, I’ve beloved creating
recipes which are mild and contemporary with a gorgeous crumb.
Bundt muffins
– carrot with salted caramel cream cheese frosting, coconut cream, chocolate
peanut butter, elderflower and orange – have turn out to be a few of
my favourite recipes.
This Pineapple Upside-Down Bundt Cake begins in a well-recognized approach – melted butter
and brown sugar. Remember that since you are making this in a Bundt pan, you may
even be greasing the whole pan, so the cake slips out simply.
Entire pineapple rings go on the underside of the pan (prime of the cake!), after which
a row of half rings are positioned on prime of that; Maraschino cherries dot the
middles.
Quickly after baking, you may place a wire cooling rack upside-down over the cake.
Invert, and voila(!), the cake will come out.
The inside of this cake has a beautiful vanilla and pineapple-kissed crumb.

On this twist on a basic, pineapple upside-down cake is baked up in Bundt

and let gravity do its work. Take away pan. Let cool fully. Use a serrated
knife to chop via pineapple cleanly.
