📝Ingredients

Eggless pineapple upside down cake
Pineapple slices
Glazed cherry
Brown sugar
Butter
For full list of ingredients and measurements check recipe card.
🥚Egg substitute
I adapted an yellow cake recipe with egg, so I used substitute in place of eggs.
In this case, it is Psyllium husk. How to replace egg with psyllium husk?
For one egg, you can use
1 teaspoon pf psyllium husk + 3 tablespoon of water
For this particular recipe, I have used accordingly. So refer recipe card for measurements.
Other options: Yogurt or flax meal.
For pineapple upside down cake, I referred this video. I cut down brown sugar and butter part.
I added a splash of coconut essence in my batter and loved it’s flavor. Just because I had it haha. So I am not mentioning in my recipe card.
📖Variations
My cake was too thin as I halved the recipe. If you want a tall cake, you can double the measurement using the recipe card feature.
In that case, the baking time also increases, it takes 30-40 mins. You can keep an eye after 30 mins, insert a tooth pick to check for doneness.
💭Top tip
Do not use spring foam pan as the butter and sugar at the bottom will leak and spoil the oven.
If the top of the cake browns faster, you can lay an aluminium foil on top, after you find it browning fast (not form beginning).
Overbaking will make the sides hard and chewy. Also the butter + brown sugar mixture will turn too dark.
💬My notes
This is my second attempt. First attempt, everything went wrong, right from recipes to everything.
I chose spring foam pan, so the butter and sugar leaked in the oven collection tray. Over time, it started smoking as it got burnt.
I added excess water to batter as I thought batter was thick. But for a cake like this which has a moist bottom, it is not necessary I forgot.
The texture was too gooey.
I used a wrong oil and the cake was smelling like it.
Also it was too sweet so this time I cut down into half.
👩🍳FAQs
How much is the pre-heating temperature and timing?
Usually the pre heat temperature is same as baking temperature. So in this case it is 180 0 C
How much is 180 Degree C in F?
It’s roughly 350 F.
Which baking tray did you use?
I used a non stick one. If you are using metal, you can use a butter paper at bottom.
Baking tray measurements: 8 * 8 inch
Can we do this recipe it in microwave mode?
This recipe is for convection mode. If you want you can bake it in a combination oven but in convection mode only. Also use a pan which is recommended for it.
Understand the difference between microwave mode and ‘Baking in convection mode’ in a microwave combination oven.
Microwave mode only will take around 5-10 mins. Hope you get it.
Substituting fresh pineapple with tinned?
I have not personally tried this, so not sure about it. But I am sure if you google it you can find to get an idea. Later proceed with this recipe.
Can I bake this cake in pressure cooker?
Yes you can bake in pressure cooker or a kadai with lid. Heat it for 20 mins empty first.
Optionally you can also spread rock salt or sand in the bottom while pre heating.
Place a trivet / stand over it once done. Place the cake for baking over it and cook covered for 30 mins or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
No gasket should be used as well as whistle. Same way can be followed in a kadai.
Safety : Please use oven gloves and safely handle while baking, both in oven as well as cooker.
Take the baking pan and add melted butter, spread as a layer covering the bottom.
2 tablespoon Melted butter
Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over it.
¼ cup Brown sugar
Place 4 pineapple slices in each corner and one in middle. Fill the pineapple slice's center with glazed cherry. Set aside.
5 Pineapple slices, 5 Glazed cherries
In a mixing bowl take all the dry ingredients. Mix well using whisk.
1 cup All purpose flour, ¾ cup Sugar, ½ tablespoon Baking powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking soda, ¼ teaspoon Salt
Take another mixing bowl and add all the wet ingredients. Add psyllium husk mix in it.
¼ cup Oil, ¼ cup Milk, ¼ cup Pineapple juice, 1 teaspoon pure Vanilla extract
Mix well with the whisk.
Add this to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Pour the batter over arranged pineapple slices in the baking tray to cover it.
Tap gently and place it in the pre heated oven (Middle rack)
Bake for 25- 30 mins. Keep an eye after 20 mins. Check by inserting a tooth pick carefully in the middle to see if it comes out clean. If it does then it is done.
Invert over a wire rack with tray and let it be for 10 mins.
It will easily come off and you can now cut into slices. Slice as squares and serve.

This Physicist Discovered an Escape From Hawking's Black Hole Paradox quantamagazine.org | August 23, 2021 | Natalie Wolchover
The five-decade-old paradox — long thought key to linking quantum theory with Einstein's theory of gravity — is falling to a new generation of thinkers. Netta Engelhardt is leading the way.
…..
So do evaporating black holes really destroy information, meaning unitarity is not a true principle of nature? Or does information escape as a black hole evaporates? Solving the information paradox quickly came to be seen as a route to discovering the true, quantum theory of gravity, which general relativity approximates well everywhere except black holes.

HHS Diverting Millions in Funding Marked for Vaccine Efforts to Housing Migrant Children Fox News | 8/27/21 | Adam Shaw
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has notified Congress that it will transfer an additional $589 million, some of which comes from funding marked for COVID-19 vaccination efforts, to its program to shelter unaccompanied migrant children who have entered the U.S. at the southern border — part of more than $4 billion that has been diverted to the program this year.
HHS informed Congress that it is diverting $225 million in National Institute of Health (NIH) funding that was part of the December COVID-19 relief bill to the unaccompanied children (UAC) program, as well as $364 million in HHS funding that was passed as part of the American Rescue Plan (ARP), a congressional source told Fox News. Data shared with Fox News confirms that source’s account.
Of the ARP funding, $187.5 million had been marked for the Centers for Disease Control for “vaccine planning, distribution, monitoring and tracking” and an additional $25 million for “vaccine confidence activities.”
Meanwhile $151 million of the diverted funding had been tagged for the “Supply Chain for Vaccines, Therapeutics and Medical Supplies.”
In other news, the funds sequestered under the “For The Puppies Act” of 2021 have been diverted to the Congressional Striptease Junket in St. Bart’s of 2021.
