📝Ingredients

I have used tinned pineapple, glazed cherry for this recipe.

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.

Shelf life

Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days.
