And then, there was cake!


First time trying a Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. 

Follow a recipe?  LOLOLOLOL...... no.  Not my thing.   I just read the books, get the concepts and ideas, and then go make the dish.

In this case, about 1.5 sticks of butter melted in a big cast iron pan, and then roughly a heaped cup of light brown sugar stirred into the melted butter.

Once the brown buttery sweetness was in the pan, pineapple rings were laid down, and bourbon cherries dropped into each ring.

The cake itself is a BC Spice cake mix.  Yeah... that meets my cake-skill level.

The box recipe called for a cup of water, which I replaced with reserved pineapple juice from the canned rings, plus a little extra canned juice to make up the cup.  1/3 cup oil... okay.  3 eggs..... here chick chick chick...... 3 eggs from girls in the yard.

Bake til 200 on the thermometer, and then turn out onto a plate right away.

That's it.  I'll let you know it turns after it cools, and after dinner too I suppose.
