Pineapple upside-down Cake

Or it will be

When I turn it over.  

Recipe follows.

Volunteer sunflowers from my Garden. 

They always bloom early. 

 The next group, the planted sunflowers, bloom much later.

The wonderful thing about Pineapples, they are always available.  

When not being used in a recipe they make fine centerpieces.

How long has it been since you had an old fashioned Pineapple upside-down cake?

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.

Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Let stand 5 minutes, turn upside down.
