Recipe : Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Embrace the 70s with this pineapple upside-down cake

A proper cupboard cake, utilising that long-forgotten tin of pineapple at the back of the cupboard, shall it be used for pina colada cocktails or a pineapple upside down cake?

Mr Foodie loves a cake and we have embraced lockdown with regular recipes so on this occasion it was food over drink, but if you have enough pineapple you could always make both!

Pineapple upside down cake recipe

The cake is baked in a single pan with its toppings at the bottom of the pan, hence the “upside-down”. Then, when removed from the oven, the upside-down preparation is de-panned onto a serving plate, thus righting it, and serving it right-side up.
