How to make easy Pineapple Upside Down Pudding
STEP 1: Preheat your oven to 180℃/160℃ fan/Gas 4. and butter and line the bottom of a 18cm/7in cake tin. Cream together the butter and sugar and spread evenly over the baking parchment.
STEP 2: Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the butter and sugar mixture, sprinkle the chopped dried apricots among the pineapple rings.
STEP 3: For the sponge, put the butter, caster sugar, eggs, flour and baking powder into a bowl with 2 tbsp of the reserved pineapple juice. Beat for 2 minutes until smooth and well blended. Spoon the mixture on top of the rings and level the surface.
STEP 4: Bake for 45 minutes until the sponge is well risen and springy to touch. Invert the sponge on to a warmed serving plate, and serve at once.
Top Tips
- Make sure to use a solid base cake tin to prevent the topping from leaking out.
- Melt the butter and sugar together until they are fully combined and pour the mixture into the cake tin before arranging the pineapple rings on top.
- Use fresh pineapple if possible, as it will give the pudding a better flavor.
- If using canned pineapple, make sure to drain it well before using to prevent excess liquid in the pudding.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy to ensure a light and airy sponge.
- Be careful not to overmix the sponge mixture once the flour and baking powder are added, as this can result in a tough texture.
- Use an electric whisk to make the sponge mixture for the best results.
- Add glace cherries to the middle of the pineapple rings for extra colour.
- Serve the pudding warm with cream or custard for a delicious dessert.
