The Pineapple is one of my favorite stand by decorations.
Fruit, as decoration, lasts longer than flowers. And they're ready to pick as you pass by.
This upside-down Pineapple cake is not upside down yet. It is too hot to turn over...we couldn't wait.
Now then, it's upside-down and so delicious.
Recipe follows.
After about a week, in one of my urns, the Pineapple is ready to cut into pieces and eaten as is or made into my old fashioned Pineapple upside-down cake.
Line baking dish with
1 fresh Pineapple cut up into small pieces
4 Tb unsalted butter, melted
½ cup of brown sugar
Mix together
1¼ cups sifted flour
½ cup sugar
½ tsp sea salt
2 tsp baking powder
½ cup melted butter
½ cup of fresh orange juice
juice from ½ lemon and
2 Tb grated lemon peel
Mix all ingredients and add one beaten whole egg.
Beat two minutes by hand with wooden spoon.
Pour over Pineapple mixture.
Pour over Pineapple mixture.
Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Let stand 5 minutes, turn upside down.
Have a great week my dear

ReplyDeleteGina, this is so pretty!! You have inspired me to try pineapples in my urns!!! I love this look!!
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL Post.thanks for share..
ReplyDeleteI always love your mind! The pineapple has been used for centuries in a decorative manner...and you show us both how decorative and delectable it can be!
ReplyDeleteHi Fabby, I know that your company manufactured beautiful ceramics...I see glimpses of them in your blog posts. Thanks for visiting and commenting. Gina
ReplyDeleteHi Rosemary, I had also forgotten and then I remembered how very easy they are to bake. With fresh pineapple, the cake tastes even better. Hope you give it a try soon. ox, Gina
ReplyDeleteDear Val, First enjoy the fresh pineapple in a bowl and after about 3 or 4 days it will be just perfect for the most delicious cake. A little whipping cream, laced with Kirschwasser makes it even more special. Maybe you shouldn't wait till summer. xo, Gina
ReplyDeleteDear Sherry, Let us know how your upside-down cake works out. Would love to see a picture of it. And, thank you for hosting your party.
ReplyDeleteHi Shenita, Sometimes I leave thePineapples in too long becauseI just can't see my fruit arrangements without them. Even then, they are just right for the cake. Thanks for your visit.
ReplyDeleteHi Busan, I'm so glad you stopped by for a visit. Have a great remainder of the week.
ReplyDeleteDear Theresa, And, I love the way your mind works. When I had my Dining Room table made I asked for a large pineapple motif for the very bottom of the table. I thought that it was a perfect design element since the pineapple is the sumbol of welcome and as you say has been used for centuries. ox, Gina
ReplyDeleteGina, I love when you come to visit me ....your comments are well chosen and insightful...I wish I had done so many things differently when remembering special Easter celebrations, but memories are always just that...beautiful and still learning experiences !! Thank you for the lovely comment, N. Xo
ReplyDeleteDear Nella, Some images will be remembered. That is how I feel about your first photograph in your Easter Post. Looking forward to seeing your next post.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Easter Holiday. ox, Gina

Hi Kathy, Thank you for your lovely complimant. Maybe Easter would be a perfect time to have Pineapple upside-down cake. What I like about it that it looks like it should take more time than it does.
