The tastes of a classic pineapple upside-down cake are combined with the lovely presentation of a bundt cake in this delightful treat. It usually has a rich and buttery cake on top with caramelized pineapple rings and maraschino cherries. Here’s a basic recipe for Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake to get you started:

Ingredients:

• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple rings in juice – 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter – 3/4 cup packed brown sugar – drained maraschino cherries – 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour – 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt – 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter – 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar – 3 large eggs
  1 cup milk – 1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Butter or cooking spray a bundt cake pan generously.
2. Drain the pineapple rings and set aside the juice. Melted butter and brown sugar should be combined in a small bowl. Spread this mixture evenly into the oiled bundt pan.
3. Arrange the pineapple rings in the pan on top of the butter and sugar mixture. Insert a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring, as well as any gaps between the rings. Set aside the pan.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing basin until thoroughly blended. Place aside.
5. Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
6. Alternately add the dry flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture. Start and finish with the dry ingredients. Mix just till mixed, taking care not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter over the pineapple rings in the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes in a preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and leave it to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. The cake should then be inverted onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Lift the pan gently away from the cake, allowing the caramelized pineapple and cherries to settle on top.
10. Before serving, allow the cake to cool fully. You can serve it plain, with whipped cream, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
