Delicious skillet pineapple upside down cake

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature, separated
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Maraschino cherries

RECIPE

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Melt butter in a 9- or 10-in. ovenproof skillet. Add brown sugar; mix well until sugar is melted.
  • Slice the pineapple using Stainless steel Pineapple slicer.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice. Arrange about 8 pineapple slices in a single layer over sugar (refrigerate remaining slices for another use). Sprinkle pecans over pineapple; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add sugar, beating well. Blend in vanilla and reserved pineapple juice. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to batter and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Spoon into the skillet.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes (cover loosely with foil if cake browns too quickly). Let stand 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Place cherries in center of pineapple slices.

Enjoy the lovely cake along with the kids.
