Pineapple Cherry Upside down Cake

Star Ingredients: Pineapples, Cherry and Almond milk

  J U M P TO T H E R E C I P E

Dump Cake – Upside down cake – Whatever you want to call it, the cake is supposed to be bringing out the flavors and juices of the fruit it is fused with. The upside-down is de-panned onto the serving bowl to make it right thus making the bottom side of the pan beautifully displayed on the top now.

I used pineapples and cherries which is my favorite combination for this cake. But I have also seen peaches, mangoes, rhubarb, apples, pears and even strawberries used in the same way. Some even used mixed fruit.

The arrangement of the fruit you pick and the way you arrange will make beautiful presentation to look at. That’s what makes this cake fancier and makes your guests think you put lot of effort into it. When actually, it’s quite the opposite.

Few tips to make that juicy and effortless cake:

1. Strain and wash the cherries from the bottle and pat them dry with paper towel before you arrange them onto the cake pan. This is avoid the cherry juices to run into pineapple and cake batter.
2. Once the cake is baked and de-panned onto the serving bowl, leave the pan on the cake for few more minutes. This will help the cake to absorb all that extra juices accumulated onto the bottom.
3. I am using the 9”round cake pan but you can easily use the same measurements into 9×9 square pan.

STORAGE:

The Cake tastes fresh and juicy for first couple of days. But good in the fridge for 2 more days. Freezing is not recommended due to the pineapples getting mushy after defrosting.
