Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake
"This recipe for the best pineapple upside down cake can be made in a regular cake pan, or like I did here, in a cast iron skillet. This is the same recipe I have used for over 30 years, but started baking it in a cast iron skillet a decade ago. Making this cake in a cast iron skillet develops a caramel crusty topping from the brown sugar and butter and is considerably better than the crust that develops in a standard baking pan."
NotesThis recipe makes TWO skillet cakes!

Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup butter
- 3 cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter
Instruction
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and center rack in the oven. I used only one 9-inch skillet to make both cakes by doing one at a time. Simply wipe out your skillet after removing the cake and start over. If you have 2 skillets, even better, make them both at the same time by staggering the pans in the oven.
-
Prepare the topping first by placing 1/4 cup butter in cast iron skillet. Place skillet in the oven until the butter has melted, this only takes a few minutes.
