Step-by-Step Recipe for Pineapple Upside-Down Cake:

Step 1: Prepare the Topping

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Pour the melted butter into a 9-inch round cake pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the butter.
3. Arrange the pineapple rings over the brown sugar and place a cherry in the center of each ring.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with pineapple juice and sour cream. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

1. Pour the cake batter over the prepared pineapple topping in the pan, spreading it evenly.
2. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving plate and let it cool completely.

Tips for the Perfect Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

1. Use fresh pineapple for a vibrant flavour: If using fresh pineapple, ensure it’s sliced thinly for even caramelization.
2. Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake dense.
3. Invert the cake carefully: Use a plate larger than the cake pan to catch any caramel that may drip.
