Pineapple Upside Down Lime Mold Recipes

OLD FASHIONED PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a 10-inch heavy skillet with a heat-resistant handle (I use a cast iron skillet), melt 1/2 cup butter over very low heat. Remove from heat, and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over pan. Arrange pineapple slices to cover bottom of skillet. Distribute cherries around pineapple; set aside.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Separate the eggs into two bowls. In a large bowl, beat egg whites just until soft peaks form. Add granulated sugar gradually, beating well after each addition. Beat until medium-stiff peaks form. In a small bowl, beat egg yolks at high speed until very thick and yellow. With a wire whisk or rubber scraper, using an over-and-under motion, gently fold egg yolks and flour mixture into whites until blended. Fold in 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine and almond extract. Spread batter evenly over pineapple in skillet.
• Bake until surface springs back when gently pressed with fingertip and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with table knife. Cool the cake for 5 minutes before inverting onto serving plate.

• Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in measured pineapple juice and water. Remove 1 cup of the gelatin; set aside at room temperature. Refrigerate remaining gelatin 1-1/2 hours or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression). Stir in chopped pineapple. Spoon gelatin over pineapple slices in pan. Refrigerate 30 min. or until set but not firm (should stick to finger when touched and should mound).
• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with wire whisk until creamy. Gradually beat in reserved 1 cup gelatin. Pour over gelatin layer in pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. Store leftover gelatin in refrigerator.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• For the topping: Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish. Use a pastry brush to brush the sides of the pie plate with butter. Sprinkle the butter with the brown sugar. Use clean hands to cover the base and sides of the pie plate with the butter sugar mixture. Arrange 7 pineapple rings on the base of the pie plate. Cut the remaining 3 rings in half and place them in the openings on the sides of the pie plate. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and in the empty spaces between the pineapple rings. Place the pie plate in the fridge while you make the batter.
• For the cake: Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and whisk to break up any lumps of flour and to evenly combine the ingredients. Set aside.
• Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Next, add the eggs, one at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding another. When the eggs are incorporated, add the vanilla and orange zest and mix until combined.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture and the sour cream to the mixer, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Spoon the batter into the chilled pie plate. Place the pie plate on the prepared baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake until the juices are bubbling and the toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Remove the cake from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the cake and carefully flip the cake over, inverting it onto the plate. Cool the cake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
