Easy Upside Down Cake Recipe

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C
  2. Place a 9-inch ovenproof pan on a burner on medium heat
  3. Melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted and bubbling
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the pan from the heat
  5. Arrange the pineapple slices in this syrup so they are close together but not overlapping
  6. Set aside
  7. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla
  8. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg
  9. Add this to the buttermilk mixture and whisk until just blended
  10. Stir in coconut
  11. Pour the batter over the pineapple slowly (so as not to shift the fruit)
  12. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean
  13. If using fresh pineapple, the cake may need an extra 5-10 minutes baking time
  14. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes in the pan
  15. Place a serving plate over the cake and invert the pan, lifting it to reveal the pineapple now on top
  16. Serve warm or at room temperature
