An old- fashioned take on one of my favourite cakes- Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, is super simple and quick to make!
Ingredients:
All purpose flour (Maida)- 1 1/4 cup Condensed Milk- 1/2 tin or 1 cup Baking Powder- 3/4 tsp Baking Soda- 3/4 tsp Butter- 60 gms Aerated Soda- 100 ml Brown Sugar- 3 tbsp Pineapple Essence- 1 1/2 tsp Tinned Pineapple Rings- 4-5 Tooti frooti- few
Procedure:
- Preheat the oven at 180 Celcius.
- Grease a 7″ cake tin. Arrange pineapple rings and place tooti frooti in the center of all the rings.
- Sprinkle brown sugar over the rings. Keep aside.
- Take butter at room temperature and mix it with condensed milk and pineapple essence in a bowl. Mix well.
- Mix maida, baking powder, baking soda and strain the mixture 2-3 times.
- Add the dry mixture to condensed milk mixture. Beat and fold to mix well. Keep adding aerated soda in small quantities and mix well.
- Pour the cake batter in the prepared tin. Bake it at 180 Celcius. It will take approximately 35-40 mins to bake.
- Insert a clean knife in the center of the cake to check if it is baked. If the knife comes out clean, cake is ready. If not, bake it for another 4-5 mins and check again.
- Loosen the cakes on the sides and turn it on a plate. Do not let the cake cool in the baking dish.
- Cut into pieces. Cake is ready to serve. You can serve it with vanilla ice-cream.
