This pineapple upside-down cake easy recipe is delicious! It can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free. This is a classic recipe that is great for your summer gatherings.
How did I make this pineapple upside-down cake easy recipe healthier? I substituted the flour using the brand Namaste Foods Gluten Free organic flour blend. Even though it was delicious, the texture was denser than a classic recipe.
Furthermore, if you prefer a less dense cake, and do not have any gluten intolerance, use cake flour. Cake flour will make the texture of this cake more crumbly.
Tips for making this recipe!
- Use canned pineapples for a flavorful cake. You can use fresh pineapples but the flavor will be lighter.
- Blot the pineapple and maraschino cherries. Excess of liquid will cause an unpleasantly wet cake.
- Cake flour is lighter than all-purpose flour so it will create a soft crumb.
- If you are vegan feel free to replace the flour using self-rising and skip the leavening agents and salt. This way you do not need any egg replacement.
- This cake is always on the denser side, using just an egg yolk and two egg whites will help the cake to be less dense.
- This cake will be good for up to five days inside the refrigerator.
- Chop leftover pineapple and add it to the batter. Do this by folding chopped pineapples at the end.
- I used coconut milk for this recipe but you can use your favorite milk.
- Undoubtedly, you can make it vegan by using vegan butter, sour cream and milk.
To conclude. do not over mix your batter and follow the instructions as described in the recipe.
