Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Many of you think that this is so hard or tricky to make( I was thinking like that untill I made them), but it is so easy to make, trust me on this guys. You can taste the real pineapple in this truly. The original recipe calls for brown sugar, I know I could never find it here, so I always use jaggery in place of it and it worked really good. I highly recommend you to try this and tell me how it turned out.

What is an Upside Down Cake?
An upside-down cake is one that is baked upside-down in a single pan, with the toppings at the bottom. When the finished upside- down preparation is removed from the oven, it is flipped over and de-panned onto a serving plate, righting it and serving it right-side up.
Upside-down cakes were once known as skillet cakes because they were baked on stovetops. Before the batter is poured in, chopped or sliced fruits such as apples, cherries, peaches, or pineapples, butter, and sugar are usually placed on the bottom of the pan, forming a baked-on topping after the cake is inverted. You can use a basic cottage pudding cake batter.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Ingredients
Pineapple Slices : In general, canned pineapples will have a sweet and tangy flavour. As a result, they complement a wide range of dishes, including desserts, side dishes, salads, main courses, and even appetisers. But you can use fresh pineapple slices as well.
Cherries – They have a distinct sour-sweet flavour that compliments this dish. You can use candied cherries or fresh cherries too.
Plain Flour – I used plain flour for making the cake batter. You can use half wheat flour or half refined flour.
Butter – Make sure to use unsalted butter for the batter. If you are using salted butter, you can skip the salt in the recipe.
Sugar – both refined white sugar or brown sugar is used in his recipe. White sugar is added in the cake batter while brown sugar is used in the caramel sauce.
Vanilla – use good quality vanilla extract for flavouring. If you want intense pineapple flavour use pineapple extract too.
Eggs – egg is one of the main ingredient in getting the texture of the cake right.
