upside down

Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round

oh the golden age of disco...sing it diana, sing it!!! in the mean time, i'm baking pineapple upside down cakes. two rounds today and i am pleased with the results. while not a difficult cake to make, it does take some organization. if you let the syrup get cold in the skillet, it takes longer to bake the cake and the result is a syrup that can burn and a cake that can be dry.

once again i am forcing you to drag that old skillet out of the cupboard. cook the syrup until it boils.

arrange the pineapple slices over the syrup in a neat pattern so that it looks pretty when you turn it out of the pan

carefully spread the cake over the pineapple slices and syrup. do this gently or you will rearrange the pattern.

place an empty pan under the skillet in the oven to catch any syrup that boils up and over the sides of the skillet

pretty caramelized pineapple slices over a tender cake, warm and gooey from the oven.

Upside down You're turnin' me...
