PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the pineapple: In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the brown sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and arrange the pineapple slices in the skillet. Fill in the spaces with the crushed pineapple. Set aside.
• For the cake: Meanwhile, combine the cake ingredients in this fashion: In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In bowl number 2, combine the milk, vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of the reserved pineapple juice.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the granulated sugar and coconut oil on medium speed until thick and creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Add half of the flour mixture and mix on low until just combined. Add the milk mixture and stir until just combined. Add the rest of the flour and mix until combined, about 1 minute.
• Pour the batter over the pineapple slices in the skillet and spread evenly. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 25 to 35 minutes, checking after 20 minutes to make sure the top isn't getting too brown. If it is, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Let cool for 15 minutes. Cover with a cutting board or large plate and invert the cake. Ta daaaaaaa, you are ready to eat!

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN POUND CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter all sides of a 9-by-5-inch nonstick loaf pan, then pour the melted butter into the bottom of the pan. Scatter the dark brown sugar evenly over the melted butter. Arrange 7 slices of pineapple and the maraschino cherries in your preferred design along the bottom and up the sides of the pan, halving the slices as necessary. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while the batter is prepared. (This will allow the fruit to set in the butter and minimize shifting when the batter is poured into the pan.)
• Cream the granulated sugar, lemon zest and 2 sticks room-temperature butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed, scraping the bowl down halfway through, until pale and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
• With the mixer on medium high, add the eggs and egg yolk in 1 at a time, making sure they are fully incorporated between each addition. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the vanilla and 1/4 cup sour cream; mix until incorporated. Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated, then repeat the steps with the remaining sour cream and dry ingredients, making sure to scrape the bowl down between each addition. Add the chopped pineapple and mix until just incorporated, about 15 seconds.
• Remove the prepared loaf pan from the refrigerator and carefully pour in the batter, being careful not to shift the assembled fruit. Using a small offset spatula, carefully spread the batter into the corners and smooth out the top. Give the pan 5 to 10 taps on the counter to release any large air pockets.
• Place a sheet pan on the bottom oven rack and bake the cake on the middle rack until the top is deep golden brown and a cake tester or knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes. Allow the cake to rest for 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 10-by-2-inch round baking pan well with nonstick spray.
• Cream together the sugar, clarified butter and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. When the mixture is sandy and pasty, add the eggs and vanilla; the mixture will appear almost broken. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the batter. Finish by adding the buttermilk, making sure there are no lumps. Cover and set aside.
• Peel the pineapple and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch disks. Use a ring cutter to punch the core out of each ring.
• To make the caramel: In a pot fitted with a candy thermometer, mix the sugar and water to make a 'wet sand,' making sure the walls of the pot are clean. Bring the mixture up to 298 degrees F or until the sugar begins to turn light brown. Then hit it with the rum, cream, vanilla, salt and butter. Pour the hot caramel into the bottom of the baking pan, then evenly line it with the pineapple slices. Pour cake batter over the top.
• Bake until a cake tester comes out clean and the top springs back when pressed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the whipped cream: Place the cream, sugar, vanilla and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on speed 2 until soft, shiny peaks form, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• To make the brittle: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray well with nonstick spray. In a large pot, mix the sugar, water and corn syrup together. On medium heat bring sugar mixture up to 264 degrees F. Then add your macadamia nuts and your salt. Return to heat folding gently until the mixture reaches 315 degrees F. Then fold in your baking soda butter and vanilla extract and pour the mixture out carefully onto your greased sheet pan. As it is cooling you need to be spreading it to your desired width.
• When the cake comes out. Let it sit for 10 minutes and then turn it upside down and dump it in one fluid motion onto a cutting board. Cut into about 12 pieces top with a dollop of whipped cream and some of the cooled brittle.

BACON-PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, 9 to 11 minutes; remove to paper towels. Finely chop and set aside.
• Pour off all but 3 tablespoons drippings from the skillet. Add 4 tablespoons butter and melt over low heat. Pour into a 9-inch-round cake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter mixture.
• Place a pineapple ring in the middle of the pan, then arrange the remaining rings around the outside, overlapping them slightly if necessary. Sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of the chopped bacon in the middle of the rings and between them.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the remaining 1 stick butter and the granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat until the batter is smooth, about 15 more seconds. Fold in the remaining chopped bacon.
• Spread the batter over the pineapple in the pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a rack and let cool 15 minutes, then run a knife around the edge and invert onto a platter. Let cool at least 1 hour before serving.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cake batter: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, 1/2 stick butter, the shortening, milk, eggs, vanilla and 2 tablespoons pineapple juice in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until well combined. (There will still be a few small lumps in the batter.) Set aside.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; swirl to thoroughly coat the skillet. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the butter, making sure it's evenly distributed-you want the entire surface of the butter to be covered in brown sugar. Do not stir. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat and layer the pineapple slices over the top. If desired, place maraschino cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices.
• Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple slices and gently spread to even out the top. Bake the cake 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Immediately run a knife around the edge of the cake, then put a plate upside down on top of the skillet. Carefully invert the skillet so the cake is turned onto the plate. It should come out pretty easily; if bits of cake stick to the skillet, use a small knife to patch it together. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges. It's best served warm.
