PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE (1950’S INSPIRED RECIPE)
This sweet retro dessert hit peak popularity in the 1950's, and is just as pretty as it is easy to make. This version of the classic cake is made from scratch and features a light and tender white cake topped with canned pineapple slices and maraschino cherries.

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.

FREEZING MILK: CAN YOU FREEZE MILK? - U.S. DAIRY
Jul 11, 2016 · Once you’re ready to use the milk, let it thaw completely in the refrigerator. Milk fats can thaw separately than the water in milk, so if it’s not completely thawed, you may notice that it isn’t as smooth as usual – but a quick shake or stir can help.
