Pineapple Upside Down Cake (Classic Version) - Joyofbaking.com 

Made this for my sister's birthday. I used canned pineapple. Replaced about half the milk with pineapple juice. Turned out perfect. Not a crumb was left. Thank you for all of your recipes and the time it takes to make these videos. People think I'm a great baker because of you.😂

Hi Stephanie, Just finished your recipe for this Cake. I took a Risk on a Wing & a Prayer & doubled the recipe for a 9+x13+ Glass Baking Dish. Took me the Novis But A Determined One LOL nearly 2 hrs in Prep , mix and Pop into the oven, Looks and Batter tastes amazing, In the Oven now, will check at 45 mins etc. Wish me luck, I so enjoyed the entire process of Making your Recipe. Happy Holiday Friend of mine, Best Baker ever!

I made this last evening for a friend's birthday and all I can say is there is hardly anything left! It turned out beautifully and clean from the pan. The color, taste and feel.. was really lovely biting into a beautiful cake. Friends loved it and could not stop praising :) Thanks a lot

This is such a wonderful recipe. Even though I'm a pretty good cook in my late 60s, Ive never properly learned to bake. I think that baking is something that one starts early in life and my mom never allowed me mess up the kitchen with flour, butter and sugar and she never baked. Lately Ive been learning with your help and I made this cake for my 92 year old dad and he actually swooned and ate every tiny crumb on the plate. We all loved it. Its such simple and delicious cake with an interesting history. I learned that long before we had affordable and easy access to fresh or canned pineapple in the US, "upsidedown" cakes like this were made with other fruits...pears, prunes,apples, cherries, apricots etc... They were called skillet cakes or "spider" cakes because old cast iron skillets had legs on them and they were called "spiders".....anyway. This has opened up a wonderful new world to me. A simple delicious buttery yellow cake with seasonal fruits! My next project will be a "lemon upside down cake". I'm going to use very thinly slices of Meyer lemons and some lemon juice in the batter. Ill keep you posted with results. Many Many Many thanks to you for guiding me into the Joy of Baking!

I made this and shipped it all the way from Ohio to Colorado to my grandma and she loved it! I tried some of the crumbs and I'm sure it was delicious.

Thank you , you are one of my favorite bakers all of your recipes work perfectly

its now 10.04pm sunday february 16th and i took the cake out over an hour ago and already half of it is gone

I would think you could brush the pineapple slices with some cherry liqueur either before or after baking.

Hi Stephanie I made this recipe in a cast iron skillet I made the sauce in the skillet At first, the butter and sugar separated. So i added a splash of milk That really combined the sauce togather and it tasted delicious Overall, the whole cake was absolutely amazing Everyone in my family loved it!

Looks yummy:-) The recipe is explained step by step. Lovely and entertaining presentation !!! Happy cooking...

Don't forget to turn the cherries upside down also.

♥•♥•♥ wow melting the brown sugar is completely new ♥•♥•♥

Thanks for the best recipe n easy to make👍😄

I was a kid when I started seeing your channel nearly 6-8 years back and I remember I tried out your Apple pie recipe. That was such a hit! I have tried many recipes of yours in the past and it's always fool proof! Love to see your Channel grow. Gonna make this again this week.. 😄😄 Also, your kitchen is really amazing! 😍

I simply love the simple way in which you teach.....no unnecessary talk...and ofcourse the precise measurements too.

I made this recipe yesterday and it was delicious, the butter and sugar on top of the pineapple made it taste amazing. Definitely going to do this recipe again. Thanks 

Sorry, but I have never tried using a carrot cake batter to make an upside down cake.

Stephanie I have been watching you for years and have always wondered why you don't have your own cooking show? They have tons of cooking shows on how to cook this or that, but I can never seem to find any that cover baking. Would love to see you on Food Network or The Cooking Channel.

Your receipes are the best! Your receipes are something which I can try without doubting whether it will turn out good or not! I have tried many of them , and all of them comes out amazing. And everyone loves them.Thank you so much :)

hi Stephanie .i made this cake today.it has turned out delicious. الحمد لله.thanks for the recipe.I just reduced the Brown sugar to half a cup.otherwise I have followed the exact recipe.it was yummy.

Whatever recipes I've tried so far , they've come out really good. Based on a few comments, I used pineapple juice from the can instead of milk. The flavour was very nice. Also, i didn't have the patience to separate the eggs...in spite of which the cake still came out perfectly. Thanks for posting this.

You’re a genius Ma’am. I am searching upside down cakes now and find that you have a decade old video of tge same😂😂

Awesome pineapple cake!You are always outstanding!

Wonderful, perfect. & so loving chef you are, 💖

At first I thought this recipe was too complicated just because I've tried other recipes with less steps but OMG this recipe is AMAZING!!! So worth the extra steps with the eggs!!! It was so light and fluffy and everyone devoured it. Best recipe thank you so much mine came out perfectly

I've never tried using white sugar, but you should be able to.

This is one recipe I've tried to find for so long. It was one of my favorites as a child. I enjoy your channel so much I like the way you cook traditional and with fresh ingredients. You go over everything step by step with perfection, like my home economics teacher in high school. Thanks !

Thank you so much for recipe.. Made this cake for dad's bday came out very well.

Looks so marvelous I like watch your videos because u are perfection and explain everything

A little vinegar or lemon juice.

Hi,I am from Malaysia.I made your pine-apple upside down cake with mango.It's good n my 16 year old grand-daughter loved it very much.How ever I personally think that I must cut down on the sugar the next time I make this mango upside down cake,1/2 cup of brown sugar for topping n a bit less than 1 cup sugar for the cake. Tq for sharing!

It is a ceramic knife.

I made this cake, and it was not only perfect but deeelicious!!! Even though I reduced the sugar and I only had enough crushed pineapple to semi- cover the bottom. I loved it. Thank you for the recipe. 😄😄😄😄🌹😋😛😋

This looks sooooo good👍☺❤ And now I'm sooooo hungry😭

Thank you for the recipe hooray! I followed your instructions and it turned out smooth and delicious 😋

It was so delicious but too sweet for me. I would reduce the sugar in the batter to 140g.

Whaoh c'est magnifique ce gâteau la patte est un peu lourde mais vraiment tendre bravo Joy

I've used this recipe at least 5 times. It is a huge hit with the family and my neighbors. Thank you for this recipe that never goes wrong for even a beginner like me.

Ma'm can you please suggest me measurements for 7 inch cake pan?

God bless you for ever thinking I would buy and cut a pineapple for this cake lol. Can girl here 😂😂😂 this looks so good tho

hi my name is Rani I am from Pakistan all I always see you with you I like your baking a demonstration is very good I like your every breaking things

Hi! Love all your recipes :). Would you share with us your version of a Pineapple Coconut Cake. Thank you and looking forward for another wonderful recipe. May God bless you.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will surely try it. ❤

When I'm cooking the butter and the brown sugar, I found out that brown sugar and the butter doesn't blend well like in the video after a long time of heating. May I ask why ?

Actually there is a cranberry upside down cake recipe on the site. It is in the Christmas Baking section.

Hello from Romania!! I just made this cake today and it came out amazing!!! I used whole flour instead of all purpose flour and it is yummyyy! :)

I made this today for my dad’s birthday and he looooved it :D thank you so much for the recipe. ♥️

Been craving Pineapple upside down cake...Perfect recipe. Yum!

Excellent recipe

Not something I've ever tried, but sounds good.

I baked this for my husband's birthday today. I added a pinch of cardamom powder and also about a quarter cup of pineapple juice. It was delicious! The cake itself is slightly on the drier side but I think it's because I should've taken it out of the oven sooner. Thanks for the recipe!

It is a ceramic knife.

Yes, that should be okay.

Make it every year for thanksgiving now 🥰

Came back to this recipe after years. Still a winner. Thanks.

I've never made a cake from scratch like this.... I've always used the boxed cake mixes like Duncan Hines or Pilsbury cause its faster for me, but this.......... This actually looks really super good and easy. Think I'll use this recipe for a birthday cake that someone wants me to make for them. :)

Made this yesterday and it came out perfect! This is 2nd recipe of yours I have tried which came out perfect. Thank you :D

Hello Stephanie,I tried this again today and it is just perfect, I didn't caramelize the sugar this time. , instead, sprinkled sugar over melted butter and I used half dark brown and half granulated sugar.

Hi. I have a lot of trouble getting the egg whites to peak. Used cream of tarter as recommended but still egg whites not peaking. Tried both cold and room-temperature. Also high-speed whipping. Still not peaking. Beat about 8 minutes each experiment Please recommend. Thank you

looks great!! Might try this for Thanksgiving!!!

Thank you so much ! Everything I make by following your recipes always comes up perfect!

Do you need brown sugar for this ?? Or can you use regular sugar ??

If you use the reverse creaming method, mixing the butter with the dry ingredients until crumbly, then add the wet and beat until fluffy, the fat will coat the flour and prevent gluten from forming, making for a tender crumb.

i made this cake today. My family loved it. Thanks a lot forsharing

hi your recipe is so perfect.but I have a big gas oven or gas range.no electric oven.pls help me how can I make this recipe in my gas oven.yesterday I tried it yesterday. did not rise and cooked within 20 min in very low heat.any one pls help.

If you're using fresh pineapple, why not fresh cherries? I think I will. Looks delish.

Mine is in the oven right now, wish me Luck ☘️! (I forgot to butter the cake pan 😬)

I have just made it and it is awesome. Thank you Stephanie.

You are best thank you

Thank you....I made this yesterday.this was the perfect one...thx again...

Thanks for sharing! Will try this on Christmas day!

Hi like your cake machine. where did you buy.Your cake look nice I am going to do tonight Thanks🎉🎉 😊😊

Is the oven temperature for fan assisted oven or regular.? My caramel did not become smooth and oozed out in the cake pan. Why do you think this happened?

Made this and ate it! Pure deliciousness heavenly good! The cake was fluffy full of sweet vanilla flavor and the topping was warm pineapple sweet goodness.

like your recipes & presentation but....... it would be easier to follow if you had screen shot of ingredients & measured amounts

Thank you, Stephanie. You are great! Greetings from Portugal.

Perfect doesn't even describe how good this cake is. Your recipes are flawless! Thank you!

Can I double the cake recipe and get a higher cake. I want more cake over that pineapple. Could it be done? Would it affect the pineapples below?

I have always loved my Moms Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, Its still one of my favorites. My great grandmother used a cast iron skillet for everything including for this recipe as well. My Mom and I work in a hospital and we take turns on Sundays doing potluck and whenever my Mom make this cake, it would be gone in minutes…Everyone truly enjoyed it. Thanks for making such a favorite of ours Stephanie! Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Thanks for sharing with us...looks delicious...I will do it...
