PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the chopped pineapple in a baking dish, cover with foil and roast in the oven until soft and lightly golden brown. Leave the oven at 350 degrees F.
• Put the sugar, vanilla bean and 1/2 cup of water in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until it turns a light caramel. Add the chopped pineapple, cream, salt and arbol and cook until slightly reduced. Let cool for about 5 minutes before adding it to a blender. Remove the vanilla bean, then carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a medium mesh strainer into a bowl. Return the mixture to the saucepan and reduce it to a sauce consistency. Pour the caramel into a seasoned 10-inch cast iron pan and let cool slightly. Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the caramel and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl once. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until each is incorporated.
• Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl until combined. Whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, rum, vanilla extract and vanilla seeds in a measuring cup. Alternate the dry and wet ingredients starting and ending with the flour and mix until just combined, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl. Pour the batter over the pineapple in the cast iron pan and bake until the top is lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30 to 40 minutes. Cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a large platter. Let cool for 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan then stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves. Remove from heat. Drain the pineapple and reserve 1/4 cup of the juice for the cake batter. Pat the pineapple chunks with some paper towels to remove as much of the moisture as you can. Arrange both cans of the pineapple chunks in the bottom of the cake pan. Pour the brown sugar mixture over the pineapple. Use a knife or spatula to spread the sugar mixture over the pineapple to get it in all the nooks and crannies.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small dish. Whisk or sift the mixture until there are no lumps. Set aside.
• Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat well between each addition. Beat in the sour cream then add the pineapple juice and vanilla extract. Beat well.
• Add the flour mixture to the batter and use a wide spatula to lightly fold the flour into the batter.
• The batter will be thick. Use a spatula or spoon to dollop the cake batter over the pineapple topping in the cake pan.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick into the center and it comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center.
• Remove the cake from the oven and run a thin knife around the edges of the cake pan. While the cake is still warm, invert it onto a serving platter. Let the cake pan remain over the cake for a few seconds to give the sticky fruit topping a chance to settle then lift the cake pan off the cake. Remove the parchment paper and let the cake cool completely before serving.
