Total Time 1 hours 18 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 48 minutes

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
sliced pineapple, 6-8 canned slices or use fresh
15-20 maraschino cherries
1 and 3/4 cups cake flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature preferred
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the canned pineapple or use fresh)
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  •  Place 1/4 cup of melted butter into a 9x2 inch (deep dish) round cake pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Top with pineapple slices and arrange cherries between the pineapple slices. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugars vigorously getting out any brown sugar lumps - mixture will be gritty. Whisk in egg, sour cream, milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick.
  • Pour/spoon batter into prepared pan. Make sure it's not overflowing-- this recipe makes enough batter for a deep dish pan. If you find there is too much batter, make a couple cupcakes (20 minutes bake time) on the side. Bake for at 40-48 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil at the 20-minute mark to avoid over-browning. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Invert cake on top of a cake stand or a large serving plate. Slice and serve warm, room temperature, or even cold. Pineapple upside down cake is traditionally served with whipped cream - it's a delicious combination. 
  • To Store: Cover cake and store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
