The Ultimate Pineapple Upside Down Cake

February 17, 2014 · 1 Comment

The Ultimate Pineapple Upside Down CakeWell, it seems like mother nature doesn’t seem to be looking forward to Spring as much as I am, since she’s decided to cover us in two feet of snow, and blistering cold temperatures that are sure to make these piles of ice linger for a while. I keep envisioning my mornings watching the Jamaican sunrise, eating fresh papaya, completely surrounded by beautiful nature. Since that won’t be happening for a while, even with Spring just thirty-five days away, what does one do on snow days stuck indoors, of course bake.
The Ultimate Pineapple Mango Upside Down CakeI wanted to make a cake that evoked all the comforting warm flavors we long for on cold days, but had all the tropical flavors of the sunny Caribbean. Nothing else came to mind but pineapple upside down cake, which I gave an extra boost of summer by simmering it with mango and sweet brown sugar. While the weather outside may be blistering cold and covered in endless amounts of powdering snow, this cake tastes even better served slightly warm, making it the perfect treat to make you forget about the brutal winter.

Ingredients
  1. Pineapple Mango Mixture
  2. 2 tablespoons - Unsalted Butter {cut into pieces}
  3. 3/4 cup - Brown Sugar {packed, plus more for pineapple}
  4. 1/2 teaspoon - Ground Cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoon - Ground Nutmeg
  6. 1 1/2 lbs - Mango {fresh or frozen, chopped}
  7. 2 1/2 lbs - Pineapple {You'll need 11 to 12 rings for the top of the cake, then chop the remaining pineapple - I used organic canned pineapple but fresh works well}
  8. Cake Layer
  9. 2 1/4 cup - All Purpose Flour
  10. 3/4 teaspoon - Salt
  11. 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon - Baking Soda
  12. 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon - Baking Powder
  13. 1 1/2 sticks - Unsalted Butter {room temperature, cut into pieces}
  14. 1 1/2 cups - Granulated Sugar
  15. 3 large - Eggs
  16. 1 1/2 teaspoons - Pure Vanilla Extract
  17. 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon - Greek Yogurt
Instructions
  1. For the pineapple mango mixture, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, and butter a 10" spring-form cake pan. Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat, lay the pineapple rings flat and sprinkle with brown sugar where they are almost covered in sugar. Brown each side for 2 to 3 minutes, until brown sugar melts and creates a glaze. Lay rings in the bottom of the buttered cake pan.
  2. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, combine the mango, pineapple, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat, stirring until juices thicken {about 7 to 8 minutes}. Let sit for a minute or two, then spread atop the pineapple rings.
  3. For the cake batter, sift the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. With a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy {about 2 to 3 minutes}. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition, then beat in the vanilla. On low-speed, add the flour mixture in two batches, alternating with the yogurt. Spread the batter atop the pineapple-mango mixture, leveling with an offset spatula.
  4. Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean {about 1 hour}. Transfer pan to wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. Run knife around edges of cake pan, and invert cake onto plate. Serve cake or room temperature or slightly warm.

I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early da I love Lisboa in June🌿especially those early days w. remnants of the previous month still lingering…
the fragrant & gorgeous Jacaranda trees lighting up cobblestone alleys lined w. pastel colored buildings, becoming more vibrant as Summer’s heat begins to near….
Walking along the Rio Tejo feeling so close to the sea but not quite there & the streets not yet crowded w. vacationers basking in the city’s delight … walking around Lisboa is certainly a creative treat!! I’d love to be able to squeeze in a little summer travel; change of scenery is always such an inspiration, especially when life seems a bit crazy these days. 

Any fun summer travels planned? Hope everyone enjoys the first weekend of summer🌼

how fleeting you have been sweet, darling June… how fleeting you have been
sweet, darling June…

it seems we’re all being kept too busy these days, I don’t want the simple treasures of this month to go by so quickly but it’s like I haven’t slowed down enough to catch my breath between events & to do’s — not since my birthday, these flowers & a cake I enjoyed making too much to photograph. They weren’t for my birthday, but for someone else’s, but it really was the joy of creating this arrangement however way the color yellow called to me, foraging for delicate peonies, garden roses & stems that would make these uniquely special🌿

Not the most picturesque photo of these beautiful florals (you can swipe for those), but I’m quite enamored w. this shot … perhaps it’s that gentle reminder to slow down & take note of the in-between…
