Very moist and yummy. This pineapple upside-down cake is especially great around the holidays, but is good for any time of year.
Ingredients
Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 (8 ounce) can sliced pineapple
Cake
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup dark rum
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Melt brown sugar, butter, and honey for topping in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
Step 3
Pour butter mixture into the bottoms of two ungreased 8-inch round cake pans. Drain pineapple slices and reserve 1/4 cup juice for the cake. Layer pineapple slices on top of the butter mixture.
Step 4
Combine buttermilk, rum, and reserved pineapple juice in a small bowl. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in another small bowl.
Step 5
Beat white and brown sugars with butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then all of the buttermilk mixture, and finally the remaining flour mixture until well combined. Divide cake batter evenly between the two pans.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
Step 7
Remove from the oven place on wire racks until completely cooled, 30 to 45 minutes. Turn one cake out onto a serving plate, then carefully turn second cake directly on top of the first.
