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.
