pineapple upside-down cake
Caramelized tropical treat
A cake baked with pineapple rings and maraschino cherries arranged on the bottom of the pan, then inverted after baking so the fruit becomes the decorative top.
The caramelized brown sugar and butter create a glossy glaze.
A mid-twentieth-century American classic, often associated with retro home cooking: My grandmother always made pineapple upside-down cake for family gatherings.
