Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN BUNDT CAKE

When it comes to cakes bundts are the ones that scare me the most. They are so unpredictable on if they will release from the pan that usually I have in the past stayed away from them.

But since I’ve been feeling a little more confident and adventurous in my cake baking excursions I figured it was time to busy out another bundt and make this fun and summery Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake!

Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake

This cake is moist, dense and delicious. It has just the right amount of fruity and sweet that pairs together to create a fun and flavorful cake experience…wow I’m calling tasting a cake an experience, what gas gotten into me?

Anyways this cake is super simple to whip up and is fun for a family gathering, picnic or just a cake to have around to munch on throughout the day…because we all know that’s what’s we do….at least it’s what this gal does. No shame.

Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake

I’ve always been a fan of this cake and taking a twist on the traditional and making it a Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake is a fun spin that the whole family will love.

I think that the addition of the butter and brown sugar that goes in the bottom of the pan makes it come out just that much easier when paired with my trusty shortening/flour combo I always use. I swear by the combo and it hasn’t failed me yet, and trust me when I say I’ve had quite the experience of trial and error.

Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake

So if you’re looking for a traditional flavor with a twist that is tasty and also feeds a crowd then this Pineapple Upside Down Bundt Cake is just what you need…the official new and improved cake of the summer!

    Such a good cake I brought it to a party and everyone loved it. I did reduce butter in cake from 1 1/2c (?!) to 1 cup and it was PLENTY rich. I also added about 1/4-1/3 c of Spiced rum with no additional flour, maybe since I had 1/2 c less of butter that evened it out. It was exceptional.
    One thing I did not care for is that since I have a bundt in which the bottom releases from side of pan for easy removal of cake, and since there is a lot of butter at bottom of pan it leaked in my oven and made a mess. So I was able to catch it midway and put a pan under that, but just keep in mind that with this you’ll want a pan that is one piece. 🙂

    Made cake but got distracted. Interrupted but followed directions and forgot the baking powder as there was no mention of it in the body of the instructions only in the ingredients. My fault. Cake was for Thanksgiving. I suspect it will severely alter the cake. I know the baking powder should have been added with the flour. I just wish the directions included mentioned it. My son kept coming into the kitchen which is the size of a postage stamp. Lol

    I made this today but it was very dense and heavy. I measure out everything before putting it together and reviewed what I did – didn’t leave out anything. The Bundt pan was very full and the batter was very thick – The only liquids were the pineapple juice and eggs right? I live at a slightly high altitude (in the Texas Hill country) so I wouldn’t think that an issue. I want to make it again using a sheet cake pan – The topping was delicious and the flavor of the cake was good – just not light enough. Even so, the people that ate it at the Elks Lodge Mother’s day luncheon said it was good!

      Yes, it is a heavier pound cake style rather than a light cake. I like the sheet cake idea!

    I made this carefully following the recipe but I guess my bundt cake pan is smaller than what your suppose to use because I had plenty of batter left over ! The recipe did not specify I guess assuming all bundt pans are the same size. I also thought the cake tasted a bit eggy for my liking and very sweet. It’s a nice looking cake and glad others had better luck with it.
