Pineapple Upside down Cake(with egg,very yummm...!!)


 Whenever I listen/see "Pineapple upside down cake" my mouth starts watering.If you are a caramel and pineapple lover you are gonna love this cake.If you are trying this cake for the first time I strongly suggest you to have a look on the video link mentioned in this post because this cake is prepared little differently unlike others.

Caramel sauce:
 Brown sugar- 3/4 cup
 butter- 1/4 cup
Dry ingredients:
Maida/all purpose flour - 1.5 cup
sugar-1 cup
baking powder- 2 tsp
Pinch of salt
Wet ingredients:
 eggs-2 large
 butter-½ cup(at room temp)
 milk-½ cup(at room temp)
 vanilla extract- 1 tsp
 1 canned pineapple/fresh pineapple 5-6 slices
 few glazed cherries(optional)

Process:
1) Prepare caramel sauce by heating brown sugar and butter in a saucepan. Heat this on a medium flame until bubbles just start to appear around the outside edges of the mixture. Now pour this into your prepared cake pan evenly arranging the fresh pineapple slices on top of caramel and can garnish with cherries(if using).
2) In a large bowl beat butter and sugar.Now add eggs one after another and beat them.
3)Add vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture and beat again.
4)Now add all the sifted dry ingredients in wet mixture in small proportions.Mix them until well combined.
5) Now pour this mixture into prepared cake pan on the caramel sauce smoothing the top.Bake the cake and enjoy when its hot/warm.
**If you want the cake to eat like pudding add 1.5 tbsp of pineapple chunks otherwise you can omit it to eat it cakey(but do try at least once adding chunks if you are a pudding fan).

Cake size: Above measurements are for a 9 inch cake.
Oven Temp: 350 deg F
Time: 30 min or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean/until cake is golden brown on the top
Makes: 10 pieces(these are light so one can have easily two slices)
Storage: Store the left over cake in airtight container and keep it in refrigerator(not on the kitchen counter).Usually it will be good for 2 days in refrigerator but trust me you will finish it on the same day/next day you prepared.
 Note: Microwave it for few sec before enjoying it. This cake tastes best when its hot/warm.
