AMERICAN KITCHEN CLASSIC PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
The idea of cooking a cake upside down is an old technique that started in the middle ages when cakes were cooked in cast iron skillets. It was easy for the cook to add fruit and sugar in the bottom of the pan and a simple cake batter on top and put it over the fire to cook. Flipping it over onto a plate was a natural way to show the pretty fruit and to let the hot glaze run into the cake as well. The idea of using pineapple dates to soon after 1911 when James Dole of the Hawaiian Pineapple Company had both a machine to cut his pineapples into nice rings and the ability to can them as well. One of the earliest printed recipes for pineapple upside down cake is from a 1924 Seattle fundraising cookbook. The later invention of the maraschino cherry added the necessary color needed to make this cake visually appealing.

Steps:
- Line a dinner plate with paper towels. Lay the pineapple slices on the plate and blot them dry on both sides. Set aside.
- Lightly butter a 9 inch square baking pan. Combine the butter and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter melts, stir in the brown sugar.
- Bring to a slow boil and cook 30 seconds, stirring. Pour the mixture into the buttered pan. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture around.
- Lay the pineapple slices in three rows and put a cherry in the center of each ring. Press one pecan half, if using, in each gap between pineapple slices. Set aside.
- NOTE: If using a round skillet, heat the butter-maple syrup-brown sugar mixture right in the pan. Make a ring of pineapple slices, just touching, with one in the center and proceed with the cherries and pecans.
- To start the cake portion, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Using an electric mixer on medium high, cream the butter, gradually adding sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in 1/3 cup of buttermilk, the molasses and the vanilla.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon into a bowl. Add half of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat until smooth. Add the remaining buttermilk, beat to blend then add the remaining dry ingredients and beat to combine.
- Scrape the batter over the pineapple slices and smooth with a spoon or spatula.
- Bake on the center oven rack for 35-40 minutes, until the center of the cake springs back when touched. Put a platter or baking sheet over the pan and carefully invert the cake onto the platter or baking pan. Remove the pan. Wear long sleeves and oven mitts incase the hot glaze leaks out during inversion.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE
This Southern staple is the kind of cake that's always on the table, ready to greet anyone who comes over. Good enough for dessert, it's also not supersweet, so you could have it for breakfast with coffee or tea, or at any time of day. Made with canned pineapple and maraschino cherries (which can stay in the cupboard for a long time), it's a delicious and beautiful cake that's also budget friendly. The caramel finish is simple to put together, and the base is light and moist, but strong enough to hold up that joyful topping. If you don't want to use whole milk, you could use an equal amount of the reserved pineapple juice. The end result will be slightly sweeter, but that's not a bad thing.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, butter, vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using). Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie dish or round cake pan that's at least 2 inches deep.
- Using a clean kitchen towel or a paper towel, blot any excess liquid off the fruit. Arrange the pineapple slices to your liking in a single layer on top of the brown sugar-butter mixture, covering the base of the pan, then add the cherries wherever there's a gap. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you prepare the rest of the cake.
- Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
- Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar and beat on high speed until creamed together, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
- On high speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, until combined, then beat in the yogurt and vanilla extract, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Pour the dry cake flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer to low speed and carefully pour in the milk. Beat on low speed just until all the ingredients are combined. Do not overmix. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl. The batter will be slightly thick.
- Remove the pan from the refrigerator. Pour and spread the cake batter evenly over the topping.
- Bake for 40 to 55 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (A couple moist crumbs are OK.)
- Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a knife along the edge to loosen, then invert the cake onto a plate. (Take care, as the pan may still be hot.) Serve warm or at room temperature.
