Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Ingredients:

  • 3 to 4 pineapple rings
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup thick coconut cream
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

optional: whipped coconut cream and maraschino cherries

Directions:

  1. Lightly grease a 6 inch cake pan. Sprinkle coconut sugar to cover the bottom of pan. Tap the cake pan to gently distribute.
  2. Arrange and layer pineapple rings to cover the bottom of pan. Cut the rings to fit. Set the pan aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 325F.
  4. In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk, add 2 egg whites. Gently whisk egg whites on medium-low for 1 minute or until frothy. Increase speed to medium-high and whip for 1 minute or until soft peaks. Remove whipped egg whites into a clean bowl. Set aside.
  5. In a clean stand mixer bowl fitted with a beater, add softened butter and sugar. Beat on medium for 1 minute or until fluffy.
  6. Add in one egg yolk at a time and beat to incorporate. Drizzle in vanilla extract and thick coconut cream. Stir to combine.
  7. Sift the dry ingredients (cake flour, baking powder and salt).
  8. Add whipped egg white peaks and sifted dry ingredients into wet ingredients. With the mixer on low, combine all ingredients. DO NOT OVERMIX.
  9. Remove the stand mixer bowl and using a spatula, make a few folds to combine all ingredients.
  10. Spread batter evenly into prepared 6 inch cake pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until tooth pick inserted, comes out clean.
  11. Remove cake pan to cool for an hour before running a knife along the sides of the cake pan to help loosen the cake before inverting on a cake stand.
  12. Allow cake to completely cool before adding whipped coconut cream and topping it with maraschino cherries.
