My Moms Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe

	Fizzle3nat / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago My mom's pineapple upside-down cake. Usually, she would make it with her home-canned peaches which was DELICIOUS! She would make this for us often, even though she hated it. I don't know what's wrong with her (tee hee). Prep:15m Cook:55m Servings:9	Fizzle3nat

Ingredients

1/4 c. butter or margarine

1/2 c. brown sugar, packed

4 slices juice packed pineapple

maraschino cherries and/or walnut halves

1/3 c. shortening

3/4 c. sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/4 c. flour

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. pineapple juice

water

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Melt butter in 8" baking dish. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Arrange pineapple slices over sugar. Garnish with cherries and/or nuts. Set aside.

Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

To pineapple juice, add enough water to equal 1/2 c., if necessary.

Add dry ingredients and pineapple juice alternately to creamed mixture. Spread batter over pineapple.

Bake for 55 min. or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool 5 min., then turn out onto large serving plate.

For regular pans, increase oven temp 25 degrees and bake 5 - 10 min. less.

* Mom would make this with her home-canned peaches more often than the pineapple version. She simply used the peach slices for the pineapple and the peach juice instead of the pineapple. She omitted the cherries and walnuts. That was our favorite version, but both are great.
