Gluten Free Pineapple Upside Down Cake Food

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Stir in brown sugar, pineapple juice, and rum. Cook until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place pineapple slices in the skillet in a single layer, covering sugar mixture completely. Set skillet aside.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in small skillet over low heat until butter begins to brown and releases a nutty fragrance, about 5 minutes, being careful to not burn the butter. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
• Combine gluten-free flour and almond flour in a bowl. Mix in white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom until well combined. Whisk in eggs and cold milk; mix until just combined. Pour in melted butter from the small skillet and stir until batter is mixed thoroughly. Pour batter over pineapple slices in the 12-inch skillet. Use a spatula to smooth out surface and spread evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to bubble around the edges, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in the skillet for 10 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the skillet. Place a large plate on top of the skillet and flip over, presenting the cake with pineapple slices on top. Garnish with maraschino cherries.

EASY GLUTEN-FREE PINEAPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Melt butter in an 8 x 8 pan or a 9 inch pie dish. You can do this in the oven at a low temperature, or by placing a metal pie pan on an electric stove burner. Make sure the butter doesn't start to bubble.
• While the butter is melting, sift together stevia, flour, baking powder, and spices.
• Mix together agave nectar, vanilla, and milk in a separate bowl, then add it to the dry mix.
• Whisk the batter until smooth, adding the water as necessary to ensure that it has a thick, but pourable consistency.
• Pour the batter over the melted butter--Do Not Stir.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, scatter chopped pineapple over batter in pan.
• Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until edges of cake are a dark brown, and the center is dry on top, but not entirely firm.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• When cool, cut into squares or wedges, depending on type of pan, and serve with dollops of whipped cream.
• Feel free to experiment with other kinds of fruit!
