JENNY'S CRUSHED PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray with Pam, or lightly wipe with oil, the entire surface of a 13" x 9" nonstick cake pan. *NOTE* To better ensure complete and easy removal of topping, I like to also line oiled pan with parchment paper.
• Place stick of butter/margarine in pan. Place pan in oven until melted. Remove from oven.
• Scatter cherry slivers across bottom of pan, using as many or as few as you desire for color.
• With melted butter evenly coating bottom of pan, sprinkle brown sugar over cherries and across bottom of entire pan.
• Scatter crushed (well drained) pineapple evenly over brown sugar layer.
• Prepare cake batter according to directions on cake box.
• Spoon or pour cake batter, carefully and evenly, over pineapple layer.
• Place cake in center of oven. Bake approximately 35 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (make certain that you don't go too deeply or you'll reach the pineapple layer.) DO NOT overbake. Cake can change from undone to overdone very quickly.
• Remove pan from oven. Place pan on wire rack, cool for 10 minutes.
• Place inverted platter, plate or tray (that cake will be served on) over top of pan. Gripping both ends tightly, invert pan. If any topping sticks to the liner, you can remove it with a spatula and replace on top of cake. (The beauty of using crushed pineapple instead of rings means that it melds perfectly back into place.)
• Continue cooling cake. Slice and serve. Cake may be served warm, if desired.
• NOTE: Depending on your oven type, you may need to adjust your bake time or temperature, accordingly.

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.

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!
