Eggless Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Eggless Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a sinful dessert made with fresh pineapple slices. The caramelized pineapple pieces add a wonderful flavour to the whole cake.

I had been planning on making a beautiful upside down cake ever since Daddy picked up a Delmonte Pineapple tin. I wasn't sure why he picked up as we mostly get fresh fruits and sometimes the whole pineapple. Its been in my fridge for a year now and I was always remembering that it has a 2 year period.

Back of my mind, I have been wanting to bake an upside down cake ever since I saw the recipe at Bake with Sivash. I have a pineapple upside down cake already and never bothered to check it again. I loved the pictures and even saved up some cherries too. Imagine my shock and surprise when I open the tin to only realize its got titbits!

It was 8 in the evening and I had no option to lay my hands on slices. So I just went ahead and used it as such! We are starting the new edition with BM#97 week 1 being Upside Down Dishes. The idea is to showcase dishes that are baked/cooked upside down.
