The pineapple cake is a soft, fragrant cake with a fresh and fruity taste, perfect for any occasion.
It is made with a simple batter enriched with slices of pineapple, usually canned, which give the cake a moist consistency and a tropical aroma.
The famous upside-down pineapple cake, I think at least once in your life you will have made it!
Once baked and flipped, the cake shows a decorative and shiny design on the surface, irresistible to both sight and taste.
The sweet and slightly tart flavor of the pineapple perfectly matches the softness of the base, creating a pleasant balance.
It is ideal to enjoy for breakfast, as a snack, or as a light dessert after meals; it’s a simple yet scenic cake.
Once baked and flipped onto a serving plate, you can serve it as is or moisten the surface with the pineapple juice from the can.

Preparation of the Pineapple Cake
Take the mixer and start putting all the ingredients (except the pineapple) mixing everything well.
While it mixes, prepare a 9.5-10 inch baking pan and add 3.5 oz of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water to make the caramel (without greasing or flouring the pan), heat it on the stove and when it’s completely dissolved, remove from heat and swirl the liquid throughout the pan so that it adheres to the edges and the bottom.
Wait 4-5 minutes for it to cool and solidify.
Now you can place the well-drained pineapple slices on the bottom of the pan so that they touch each other…..
….then take the mixture which will now be ready and pour it over the pineapple.
Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
Once cooked, let it cool, then remove it from the pan and flip it onto a serving dish; it will show the pineapple slices on top.
If you like, you can moisten the surface with the pineapple juice, or serve it as it is.
