Microwave Pineapple Upside-Down Cake #4
A recipe from the Sneaky Kitchen (Tupperware)
2/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
2 Tablespoons butter or non-hydrogenated full-fat margarine
1 16-oz can pineapple rings, drained (reserve juice)
Maraschino cherries
1 box yellow cake mixMelt butter in deep stack cooker. Add brown
sugar & 1/4 cup of juice. Stir to mix, then cook until mixture
starts to thicken, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon. Watch
carefully as you don't wish to burn it.
Add cone. Arrange drained pineapple rings in
sugar-syrup around cone, cutting as required. Careful;
mixture is very hot. Add maraschino cherries artistically. If any
pineapple is left over, chop & sprinkle over the rings.
Prepare cake mix as instructed, substituting rest of
pineapple juice as part of the liquid. Pour cake mix gently over the pineapple rings. Microwave on high for 14 to 15 min., rotating every
4 min. if your micro doesn't have a turntable. Let sit for 5
min.
Loosen cake from sides of dish with a
spatula. Place a cake plate on top of the stack cooker. Holding both
items firmly together, flip them upside-down (over the counter, not over the
floor!). Tap & jiggle if necessary to let cake release from
the pan. If pineapple pieces or syrup sticks to baking dish, remove with a
spatula & replace on the cake. |
