Questions about Pineapple upside-down cake
How do you stop pineapple upside-down cake sticking to the tin?
Melt the butter and sugar in the tin, arrange the pineapple, then grease any exposed sides. Let the cake stand for about 10 minutes after baking, run a thin knife round the edge and turn it out while still warm; if the caramel has set, briefly warm the tin over a low heat.
How long do you bake pineapple upside-down cake, and at what temperature?
Bake it at 180 °C (160 °C fan) for about 35–45 minutes. It is ready when the centre springs back lightly and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean; cover loosely with foil if the top browns before the middle is done.
Can you use tinned pineapple for pineapple upside-down cake?
Yes. Drain the rings well and pat them dry so their juice does not make the topping watery; reserve a few cherries for the centres if you like. Fresh pineapple works too, but slice it thinly and remove the tough core.
How should you store pineapple upside-down cake?
Keep it covered in the fridge because the fruit topping is moist, and eat it within about three days. Bring a slice to room temperature or warm it briefly before serving; you can also freeze wrapped slices for up to three months.

Serve it slightly warm with a spoonful of softly whipped cream, crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream. The tang of crème fraîche is especially good against the buttery caramel and sweet pineapple.
