Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150g sugar
- 180g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 20g sweetened desiccated coconut
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 135g brown sugar
- 60g unsalted butter
- 5-6 slices tinned or fresh pineapple rings
For the fruit base
- 80ml vegetable oil
- 180ml buttermilk
Method
- Preheat the oven to 175°C
- Place a 9-inch ovenproof pan on a burner on medium heat
- Melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted and bubbling
- Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the pan from the heat
- Arrange the pineapple slices in this syrup so they are close together but not overlapping
- Set aside
- In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg
- Add this to the buttermilk mixture and whisk until just blended
- Stir in coconut
- Pour the batter over the pineapple slowly (so as not to shift the fruit)
- Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean
- If using fresh pineapple, the cake may need an extra 5-10 minutes baking time
- Let the cake cool for 30 minutes in the pan
- Place a serving plate over the cake and invert the pan, lifting it to reveal the pineapple now on top
- Serve warm or at room temperature
