Pineapple Gooey Cake Recipes

PINEAPPLE CAKE

Steps:

• Carefully cut off the top of the pineapple and set it aside. With a large spoon, scoop out the core and flesh from the pineapple and the top crown. Discard the core, cut up the flesh into chunks and reserve with the juice. Dry out the hollow pineapple the best you can with a paper towel.
• In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1 cup of the pineapple juice and 3/4 cup of the pineapple chunks. Pour the cake batter into the hollowed-out pineapple to fill it three-quarters of the way to the top. Reserve the leftover batter for another use (perhaps a second pineapple? Or cupcakes?!). Microwave on high until the cake is baked, about 10 minutes. A skewer should come out clean. Remove from the microwave with a kitchen towel because it's super hot on the outside, let cool for 15 minutes.
• While the pineapple is cooling, make the topping: In a small bowl, combine the remaining pineapple chunks (you should have about 1/2 cup) and the brown sugar and microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Mix well with a spoon and let cool slightly.
• Top the pineapple cake with the sugared pineapple, some whipped topping and chopped maraschino cherries. Sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar for the crunch and because it looks pretty. Serve with the pineapple crown on top. Find a long spoon and dig in!

EASY PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). In 13x9-inch pan, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices on brown sugar. Place cherry in center of each pineapple slice, and arrange remaining cherries around slices; press gently into brown sugar.
• Add enough water to reserved pineapple juice to measure 1 cup. Make cake batter as directed on box, substituting pineapple juice mixture for the water. Pour batter over pineapple and cherries.
• Bake 42 to 48 minutes (44 to 53 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Place heatproof serving plate upside down onto pan; turn plate and pan over. Leave pan over cake 5 minutes so brown sugar topping can drizzle over cake; remove pan. Cool 30 minutes. Serve warm or cool. Store covered in refrigerator.

PAULA DEEN'S OOEY GOOEY BUTTER CAKE & VARIATIONS RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter; mix well. Pat mixture into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside. Still using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth; add eggs and vanilla. Dump in confectioners' sugar and beat well.

Don't be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don't bake it past that point! Pumpkin: This variation has to be at the top of my list, especially around Thanksgiving. For the cake part, I sometimes use a spice cake mix. I have even used a chocolate cake mix, but I think my favorite is the basic yellow cake mix. Follow the original recipe, adding a 15-ounce can of pumpkin pie filling and an extra egg to the cream cheese filling. Bake as usual, remove from oven, and allow to cool. Cut into squares and top each square with a pecan half. Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. I promise you'll never want pumpkin pie again! Pineapple: Add a 20-ounce can of drained crushed pineapple and an extra egg to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above. You can also add coconut to cream cheese Lemon: Use a lemon cake mix in place of the yellow cake. Add the juice (approximately 1/4 cup) and zest of 2 lemons to the cream cheese filling. Proceed: as directed above. Carrot Cake: Use a spice cake mix, and add 1 cup chopped nuts and 1 1/2 cup finely grated carrots to the cream cheese filling. Proceed as directed above.

Proceed as directed above. Chocolate Chip: Use either yellow or chocolate cake mix. Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts on top of filling. Proceed as directed above.
