Ingredients

Fruit Base

¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter
⅔ cup (140 g) packed dark brown sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice
5-6 slices tinned, or 4-5 fresh pineapple rings

Cake
¾ cup (175 ml) buttermilk
⅓ cup (80 ml) vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
1 ½ cup (225 g) all-purpose flour
¾ cup (150 g) sugar
1 tsp (3 g) baking powder
½ tsp (2 g) salt
¼ tsp (1 g) baking soda
⅒ tsp (less than 1 g) ground nutmeg
½ cup (50 g) sweetened flaked coconut

Fruit Base Cake Assembly

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

2. Place a 9-inch ovenproof skillet on a burner on medium heat. Melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring until melted and bubbling. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the pan from the heat. Arrange the pineapple slices in this syrup so they are close together but not overlapping. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. Add this to the buttermilk mixture and whisk until just blended. Stir in coconut. Pour the batter over the pineapple slowly (so as not to shift the fruit). Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. If using fresh pineapple, the cake may need an extra 5-10 minutes baking time. Let the cake cool for 30 minutes in the pan. Place a serving plate over the cake and invert the pan, lifting it to reveal the pineapple now on top. Serve warm or at room temperature.

I usually watch videos with no sound to avoid unnecessary chatter. But you talk about all the right and necessary things. Awesome channel!❤️

I made this tonight but substituted 3 fresh sliced pears for the pineapple. (Almost any fruit would be yummy.) It's the best upside-down cake recipe ever. Using oil instead of butter in the batter really makes a difference. I also tossed some pecans on top of the pears because my family likes a little crunch in their desserts. BTW, if you don't have buttermilk on hand you can make your own by stirring in about a tablespoon of lemon juice per 1 cup milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and you have buttermilk.

My Dad grew up in the 1930's and 1940's and this was his favorite cake. My grandmother used to make this cake in an old black cast iron pan and she taught me how to make the cake. I am wondering why there isn't a cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring as this was everyone's favorite part of the cake?

Love this lady. Her style of presenting and explaining is very unique.

Beautiful sieve just like the old fashioned that my grandmother used to sieve the corn and wheat flowers to make bread. ❤

I love the simplicity and ease of what you've done here. Looks very tasty. I could do without the coconut though. That would be my only tweak. Other than that, thanks for this. Think I'll make this tonight
