Ingredients
Caramel with pineapple slices
Batter
How to Make Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
Step 1: Make the caramel
Start by melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
Add the brown sugar and rum, and mix well until a smooth caramel forms.
Grease the bottom of a pan with butter and line it with parchment paper so it doesn't stick.
Pour the caramel into the bottom of the 25 cm pan and arrange the pineapple slices in an attractive pattern.
Step 2: Make the cake batter
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Sift and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until the mixture is creamy and pale.
Add the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is well incorporated before adding the next.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk, starting and ending with the flour.
Add the rum and vanilla extract to the batter and mix well.
Step 3: Assemble the cake
Make sure the caramel and pineapple are cool before adding the batter.
Pour the batter over the pineapple in the pan, making sure it doesn't mix with the caramel.
Place the pan on a baking tray to catch any spills.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
Bake the cake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool for a few minutes before turning it out.
Step 5: Turn out and decorate
Carefully remove the cake from the pan. If you have followed the steps correctly, it should slide out easily.
You can decorate the top with cherries or strawberries, as you prefer.
