PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE FROM SCRATCH
This is an old-fashioned upside-down cake recipe from my German grandmother from scratch. She used this same cake batter for many different fruits as an alternative to pineapple. She often used fresh Italian prunes or pitted fresh cherries. My grandparents owned a bakery and this cake was very popular in the 1950s and 1960s. Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch diameter, 2 1/2-inch tall round cake pan.
- Stir brown sugar and melted butter together in a bowl. Spread evenly over the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Place pieces of pineapple on top of brown sugar mixture and around the outer edge of the pan, all facing the same way. Place 2 pieces in the center. Place a cranberry between each pineapple piece.
- Beat white sugar and softened butter together using an electric mixer in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Pour in baking powder, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
- Add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup milk to batter at a time, mixing well after each batch until thoroughly blended.
- Pour batter over pineapple slices, making sure batter gets between them. Spread and smooth batter using an offset spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Remove cake from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen. Place a plate over the cake pan and quickly invert, waiting a few seconds for it to fall if it doesn't immediately separate from the pan.

CHEF JOHN'S PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This iconic American dessert looks like a simple, rustic fruit cobbler when it comes out of the oven, all browned and bubbling, but a few minutes later, when it's turned over and that gloriously caramelized surface is revealed, it becomes so much more.

RICOTTA PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
A combo of sweet, fresh pineapple paired with a tangy ricotta cake makes for a deliciously decadent flavor combo. Don't use skim ricotta for this-it's too watery, and won't provide the flavor that makes this cake so good.
