Grilled Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Place a 12x12-inch sheet of aluminum foil on a work surface. Spoon brown sugar and butter in the center of the foil. Arrange pineapple ring over sugar and place cherry in the center. Top pineapple ring with inverted shortcake shell. Fold foil around cake to form a packet.
• Grill packet sugar-side down in the preheated grill until sugar is caramelized and cake is hot, about 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt 1 stick butter in the bottom of a cast iron skillet over medium heat, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Add pineapple slices on top of sugar in 1 decorative layer with a cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring. Set aside.
• Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together in a bowl. Add eggs and mix. Add flour mixture and milk in an alternating fashion. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Pour mixture evenly over pineapples in the skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Let cake cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, 1/2 stick butter, the shortening, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed-you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and layer the pineapple slices over the top. If desired, place maraschino cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices.
• Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and gently spread to even out the top. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice, and arrange remaining cherries around slices; press gently into brown sugar.
• Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Make cake batter as directed on box, substituting pineapple juice mixture for the water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
• Bake 42 to 48 minutes (44 to 53 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake 5 minutes so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Store covered in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Peel, slice into 1/2" slices / rings and core fresh Pineapple. Grill or place rings under broiler on a sprayed sheet for 5 minutes each side or until lightly golden on edges. Set aside. (Can be done day/s before, and there is extra which I used for terriyaki chicken).
• Melt 2 Tbsp Butter in 9" cake pan on stove. Stir in Brown Sugar, Cinnamon and 1 Tbsp water. When combined remove from heat and arrange as many slices as Pineapple you can fit flat on bottom of pan. Place halved Cherries in empty cores and corners of rings. Set aside.
• In bowl mix Flour, Granulated Sugar and Baking Powder. Add Milk, 1/4 cup softened Butter, Egg, and Vanilla. Beat until combined scraping bowl. Spoon batter over rings and Cherries and smooth top carefully to cover.
• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick test comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Make sure sides are loosened and invert onto serving platter. Best warm, to warm cooled cake just needs 15-20 seconds in microwave.
