Track607: Is there a non-pineapple upsidedown cake?
PMmeyourcocktails: Can you substitute other fruit? Like peaches or blackberry?
DougEECummings: Full Recipe from [TipHero](http://tiphero.com/pineapple-upside-down-cake/)
**Ingredients:**
⅓ cup butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
1 (20 oz) can sliced pineapple, drained and pineapple juice reserved
13 maraschino cherries (optional)
2 eggs
⅔ cup sugar
⅓ cup pineapple juice, from canned pineapple
2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
1 cup sifted flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
**Directions:**
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2. Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch cake pan, coating the bottom. Sprinkle the brown sugar and half of the vanilla extract evenly over the top. Add 1 pineapple slice to the center of the pan. Arrange 6 pineapple slices, evenly spaced, around the center pineapple slice. Cut the remaining 3 pineapple slices in half, and place the half slices vertically around the side of the cake pan, with the rounded sides facing down.
3. Add the maraschino cherries, if using, to the centers of the pineapple slices and in between each slice, and set aside.
4. Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs on medium speed for about 5 minutes, until thick and lightened in color.
5. Continue mixing and gradually add in the sugar. Add the reserved pineapple juice and the remaining teaspoon of vanilla extract.
6. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
7. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, and mix until just combined.
8. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan over the pineapple slices. Use a spatula to spread the batter to the edges.
9. Bake the cake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
10. Use an offset spatula to run around the edge of the cake to help it release from the pan. Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes before placing a plate or platter over the top of the pan and carefully inverting it to release the cake.
faithle55: My mum used to make this a lot when we were kids.
hibarihime: This is one of my grandmother’s favorite cakes. I usually make this for her on her birthday and during the holidays. She likes it made without the rings but with crushed pineapple. Can’t wait to make it again for Thanksgiving!
Sunsparc: If you’re hell bent on making your own batter and everything, sure.
[I made this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/4iv8g5/pineapple_upside_down_bundt_cake/) when it was posted. It was extremely simple and very very good.
BusterSkeetinSucks: I thought this was a Stranger Things reference.
sunnybeach3: Why don’t you bake the butter/brown sugar mix first? I’ve seen (and made) recipes where you make the caramel first and let it sit before adding the pineapple and rest of the cake mix. What’s the difference?
BlueShellOP: Great post!
When my mom made it for the first time a couple months back, she cut the cherries in half and placed them flat side down such that they’d be flat with the pineapples when you turned the cake over. But, I don’t think it matters all that much.
ItsLikeRay-ee-ain: I was hoping the video was going to get more and more corrupted, as to make a tribute to Stranger Things.
JazziTazzi: Thank you! This looks delicious!
idlewildgirl: AW my mum used to make this all the time when I was little
coquish98: Hhmm, I was really hoping for a Stranger Things themed cake.
BakaDessu: I’m not sure why, but my Gif seems to be eternally paused on a pan with nothing and just saying “Melted Butter” in text.
CharlieMcN33l: Oh the 70’s
icemannathann: Why didn’t they mix in the vanilla extract? I feel like that would be gross. Or does it mix somehow when it bakes?
archlich: How about some rum, or spices like nutmeg or cardamom?
bertiebottnet: Needs booze mixed into the brown sugar. Rum would go nicely with all that pineapple.
coolzville: Fuck that looks dank
jugalator: I should have eaten this to Stranger Things 2.
dipset4444: cake cake cake cake cake, 500 mill I got a pound cake, homies is frontin thats upside down cake
gandalfsgonewild: Pineapple in food is unholy, ungodly and should be a mortal sin. Shame on this gif-recipe.
TaviBear: That looks so good. God I’m so pregnant right now 😭
