Pineapple Upside Down Cake<\/p><\/div>\n

Pineapple upside down cake was a real treat when I was a kid. The vanilla favor of the cake combined with the citrus flavor and texture of the pineapple and the gooeyness of the brown sugar all combine to give a perfect comfort food for your taste buds. <\/p>\n

Prepare<\/strong>\t30 minutes plus 2 hours of cooling time
\nBake<\/strong> \t40-45 minutes
\nServes<\/strong> \t8 -10\t<\/p>\n

1 2\/3 cups all-purpose flour
\n1 1\/2 teaspoons baking powder
\n1\/4 teaspoon baking soda
\n1\/4 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 fresh pineapple, halved lengthwise cored and peeled
\n1 1\/2 sticks (3\/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
\n1\/2 cup packed light brown sugar
\n2\/3 cup granulated sugar
\n1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
\n2 large eggs
\n2\/3 cup well-shaken buttermilk <\/p>\n

1.\tPut oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 F
\n2.\tSift together flour, baking powder and soda and salt into a bowl.
\n3.\tCut pineapple crosswise into l\/4-inch-thick wedges.

Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk in batches beginning and ending with flour and mixing just until batter is smooth.
\n7.\t Spread batter evenly over pineapple and bake until a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool 15 minutes in pan in a rack, then invert cake onto a plate and remove pan. Cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n\n
