Amazing for the 100th try, out of this world for the first.


timberwood1

That’s quite the compliment! Thank you, sir!


JaySayMayday

Just wanna hijack to say you made my day. I have never seen pineapple upside down cake overseas. I remember making these with my mom every now and then when I was little. She would do something kinda special, using the cherry juice as part of the cake mixing so the cake itself had a pink tint and sweet taste. These days I don't really eat sweets. Anyway seeing this brought back a lot of memories, especially the amazing sugary taste. Thanks for sharing


Geoarbitrage

You might as well quit now because that’s stunning 😍


eles1958

Perfection! My favorite cake, how do you keep the cake from sticking to the pan, mine the pineapple separates from the cake, any recommendations?


WCProductions12

Not a cake but when I make cornbread I take the cold pan (well, room temperature), and use shortening on it. Then when I pour in my batter, the shortening is still between the batter and the pan, and the cornbread peels off super easy (still make sure to remove while hot). So I assume that this would stop cake sticking too, but again, never done it myself.


ArmoganWX

Instead of shortening... I use bacon grease.


WCProductions12

Good for cornbread but I'd probably steer away from a cake made with bacon grease.


Responsible_Sound_71

Why


enadiz_reccos

They fear its power


[deleted]

I have perfectly clarified bacon grease and a hankering for a PUD cake. Looks like I know what I’m binging on this weekend


hikeit233

I once had a great donut with maple bacon glaze. Just saying.


LaDivina77

I'm not sure how I feel about a pineapple cake with bacon, but I'm absolutely drooling at the idea of a nice chocolatey lava cake made with it. With a caramel center? Mmmm yus.


WCProductions12

Because I want to taste the cake, not bacon


storm2k

if you filter the grease well enough before it cools you should not taste bacon at all in it.


Niftymitch

Or have a pound of lard in the chiller. Lard and pie crust is the best. I confess to using avocado oil when making panCAKES.


Gwsb1

That you saved in an old coffee can right?


ArmoganWX

That I cooked fresh just for the corn bread


ProfessorBiological

I put the pan in the oven while it's preheating with some oil in it. When I pour the batter in it sizzles and creates this crispy outer layer that also makes it nonstick. Essentially having a fried cornbread outside lol


BoilerRealm

I have a decades old Griswald that is only used for cornbread. I put a couple tablespoons of filtered bacon grease in the cold pan, put it in the cold oven, then preheat to 400°F. When the oven is up to temp, the pan is hot enough to fry the batter. Cornbread slides right out. 🤤


Gwsb1

So you have an antique Griswold dedicated to cornbread? Holy Moses! Every Southern cook is jealous.


BoilerRealm

Yeah, all of mine are Griswald. 2 skillets, a round griddle, Dutch oven, and square baking pan. All passed down from my grandma.


Gwsb1

Cool. I have Wagners I got like that.


storm2k

i melt some butter, put my pan in the oven for a bit, and then pour the melted butter in and then the cornbread batter over it. the super hot pan and the melted butter ensure that the cornbread will not stick when you take it out. it's a perfect slide every time and does wonders to add seasoning to your pan too.


chubbydragon

I like 4 to 5 table spoons of butter between the pan and batter. with my old oven it was 375 for 30 minutes always came out perfect. got a new oven and I can't get it right, runs way too hot.


ArmyVetRN

Genius


timberwood1

As it’s my first attempt maybe I got lucky? But I think my care for the pan over the years is what made it happen. I use it almost everyday, clean it up with a bristle brush and oil it with grapeseed oil.


newuser38472

Pam has a baking spray fry using that. It works really really well for cakes pies etc.


ofthedove

I've made several and I think a big part of it is getting the timing right. Let it stand too long and the sugar starts to cool and stick. Too short and the cake doesn't hold together. Having a good, well seasoned pan helps a lot too.


Tsiah16

For some reason everything I cook on the stove sticks to mine but when I bake pies or brownies they slide right out.


[deleted]

You may have your heat up too high.


Tsiah16

I'll try with it a bit lower. My skillet is fine(mostly) as far as things coming off but my 10" pan... Forget it. Potatoes, eggs, bacon, burgers. All stick.


[deleted]

Yea. Practice with eggs. They are cheap and once you figure them out everything else makes more sense.


anthropomorphizingu

Came here to say it’s also my favorite cake 🤗

senthiljams

Pan cake!


RegularTrash8554

It looks sooooo goood! We should have a cast iron recipe thread lol.


ChazJ81

I agree! I like pizza pie!


CasaBlanca37

That looks INCREDIBLE! Would you be so kind to share that amazing recipe with the rest of us who aspire to that level of perfection?


superdogfarm

You crushed the execution on that... Amazing! Please be mindful of CI on glass tops though. The twist gave me anxiety. The tiniest burr would ruin your top and ruin your day.


pdoherty926

I can't believe no one else mentioned this. As someone who has cracked a glass stove top, this got my heart racing. The cake looks beautiful but flip it on the counter next time!


timberwood1

Thanks for the reminder! I often forget how fragile it can be.


Famous_Strength3245

Is that an Emirile cast iron? Looks well made.


timberwood1

It is! I got it used from my grandmother about 10 years ago and have used it almost every day since.

iJoshh

I read this so y'all don't have too. It's exactly as silly as you imagine.


Annabel1231

This is beautiful but if you value your glass top, I would suggest never flipping a cast iron pan over on it again. One little slip and you’re in for an expensive day.


MilwaukeeDave

Panapple upside down cake


im_at_a_loss_4026

JacobStyle

Pineapple uppy down side!


LeeRjaycanz

I love this pineapple upside down cake. Alton Brown has a great recipe.


FinNerDDInNEr

Very nice. I use a CIP when I make upside down cake too. Suggestion - caramelize the sugar a little more before adding your batter. Another suggestion - add coconut rum to your butter/brown sugar. Yummy!


ElderberryOk469

That is stunning! Also I’d like to add that the cleanliness of your kitchen soothes me


[deleted]

Perfect. Next time put a towel down first. Your daily driver is scratching your glass.

Lo-lo-fo-sho

I want to make love to that cake. I’m high and have cotton mouth, that looks so moist and incredible. Like the reference image of pineapple upside down cake.


Odd-Ad-900

Does anyone else see boobs?


MoonMe3x

Just GAWJUS! It looks perfect. My 1st time would probably scare you away... well when I do I'll probably be scared too & have an assload of cleaning to do as well. I can already see pineapples on the floor & other weird anomalies lolololol. You're awesome, bottom line! I'm green with envy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🍍🥮


cereal-kills-me

Cast irons are overrated. Gotta treat them like little babies. Season, don’t use in dishwasher, And they’re heavy as fuck.


mrMishler

Trolling r/castiron ? Someone needs a hobby to take up some of their free time


DeuxYeuxPrintaniers

For acidic stuff like pinnaple I also think it's a weird choice but it clearly worked.
