Grandma's Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe
If you are looking for a delicious and classic dessert recipe, look no further than this Grandma's Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake. This cake is made in a skillet, which gives it a beautiful golden-brown color on the bottom and a perfectly moist texture throughout. The pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the buttery, caramelized topping.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and divided
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups pineapple chunks, drained
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch skillet with butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Stir in the milk and melted butter until just mixed.
3. Pour half of the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth it out with a spatula.
4. Sprinkle the brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract over the pineapple chunks and stir to combine.
5. Arrange the pineapple mixture on top of the batter in the skillet, spreading it evenly.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the pineapple, filling in any gaps.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. To serve, invert the cake onto a plate and drizzle with extra caramel sauce if desired.
Enjoy this classic dessert that has been passed down through generations!
