Iron skillet pineapple upside down cake

2/5/12


This cake could not have turned have turned out better! It's beautiful and delicious. I make pineapple upside down cakes a lot for my husband it's his favorite. I usually just take the more lazy route and use a box cake mix but he just remodeled our bathroom and felt I should make the extra effort :)


Iron skillet upside down cake

1 can diced pineapple
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup 2 tbsp cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

Melt butter in a 10 inch iron skillet.  Sprinkle brown sugar over butter then drain pineapples and reserve 5 Tbsp of juice for cake. Spread pineapple over brown sugar and kinda mush up the pieces as you do that. Then sprinkle the pecans over evenly and set skillet aside. In a bowl mix cake flour, salt and baking powder and set aside. In your mixer beat eggs then add in sugar, vanilla and pineapple juice. Once well blended add in flour mixture then pour over butter mixture in your iron skillet and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top. Once cooled off a bit flip over onto serving plate and enjoy!
