• 1. NOTE: This cake can be made in a large iron skillet (the old fashioned way) or an 8 inch round cake pan. Melt butter in pan used. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over entire surface of pan or skillet. Place pineapple rings on the sugar and place a cherry in the center of each ring. Set aside.
• 2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside a moment. In another mixing bowl, combine sugar and pineapple juice to egg yolks (well beaten) and mix well. Add flour and baking powder and mix well. Gently fold in egg whites (stiffly beaten). Carefully pour batter into iron skillet or cake pan with the pineapples and cherries being sure you do not displace the fruit. Bake at 325degrees for 40-45 minutes.
• 3. Remove cake from oven and set on a wet towel. Take a butter knife and run it around the sides of the cake to loosen from pan. Let cake cool. When cool turn upside down onto cake plate. Let sit for a minute and gently lift skillet from the cake. You may need to rearrange fruit if any sticks to bottom of pan. This cake is so good I don't even use whipped cream with it but I guess you could. ENJOY!

• For the topping, beat 50g softened butter and 50g light soft brown sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base and a quarter of the way up the sides of a 20cm round cake tin.

MOM'S BEST PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F. Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Use plain yogurt (or apple sauce) in place of margarine or oil, if desired.
• Melt margarine in the microwave, about 1 minute (start with 30 seconds). Spray cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. Divide melted margarine between two cake pans. Add brown sugar and stir to blend until sugar dissolves.
• Add 4 pineapple rings to each pan. Add 1 cherry to the center of each pineapple ring.
• Add pecan halves throughout pan, in between pineapple rings. Use as little or as much as you like.
• Bake at 350*F for approximately 35 to 45 minutes. If your oven cooks hot, you'll use less time, if it cooks low, you'll use more time. If your oven cooks unevenly (like mine does), about half way through baking, switch the pans around. The cakes are baked completely when you insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
• Cool COMPLETELY (1 to 2 hours). When cooled completely, place a platter or plate larger than the cake pan over the cooled cake. SLOWLY turn over and pop cake out onto plate or platter. TA-DAH! You have a beautiful, semi-homemade dessert!

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup and evenly coat the bottom and sides of a 10-inch glass pie plate with the mixture. Arrange pineapple on top.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the pastry flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and thoroughly mix. In another bowl, whisk together the softened butter, sour cream, egg yolks and vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer at medium speed about 1 1/2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until thick and smooth. Using a spatula, spread the batter evenly over the fruit, building up the outside edges so the cake will be level when baked.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes clean. Transfer to a rack to cool 3 to 5 minutes (no longer) and then invert onto a serving plate, repositioning the fruit as necessary.
