Pineapple Macadamia Upside Down Cake

I've got a certain fascination with up-side down cakes. Perhaps its the ideal of a buttery and go-ey surprise hiding at bottom of the pan. The main reason is because the cake is just so good with fruit baked in a sticky syrup. 


For this edition of the Home Bakers hosted by Joyce of Kitchen Flavours, the chosen cake is the Pineapple Macadamia Upside Down Cake. I simply love pineapple in bakes so this cake has been in my to-do list for the longest time. Most upside down cakes, unlike this recipe, I know use canned pineapples. The fresh pineapples were naturally sweet, and their flavours enhanced by the maple syrup (original recipe called for corn syrup but I substituted it for a richer flavour). Together with the macadamias, it went perfectly with the buttery cake.


I loved this cake, thank you Alice of I Love. I Cook. I Bake for this great choice! Please click here for the full recipe.

  12. Hi Mich,

    Sorry that I have not been baking much with THB lately :p I must apologize to Joyce too...

    This very tropical of upside down cake sounds very yummy but I prefer the cake with just pineapple with no macadamia nuts :p

  15. Hi Mich,
    We like this cake too, for its buttery and moist texture. I used canned pineapple as the fresh one I bought was rotten!
