Gluten-free pineapple upside-down cake: caramelized brown sugar, fresh pineapple, rum, and maraschino cherries for a delightful twist.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup butter
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon dark rum
  • 0.5 small fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.5 cup butter
  • 1.25 cups gluten-free all-purpose baking flour
  • 0.25 cup almond flour
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 2.125 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup cold milk
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) for a perfect bake.
  • In a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter until sizzling. Add brown sugar, pineapple juice, and rum, stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts bubbling, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and arrange pineapple slices in a single layer, covering the sugar mixture entirely. Leave skillet aside.
  • In a small skillet, gently melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat until it turns golden and gives off a pleasant nutty aroma, which should take around 5 minutes. Be cautious not to let the butter burn. Take the skillet off the heat and allow the butter to cool for 10 minutes.
  • In a bowl, blend gluten-free flour and almond flour. Add white sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom; stir until mixed. Whisk in eggs and cold milk until combined. Stir in melted butter from the small skillet until batter is smooth. Pour batter over pineapple slices in the 12-inch skillet and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the cake bubbles around the edges, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the skillet for 10 minutes.
  • Loosen the cake from the skillet by running a knife around the edges. Flip the skillet onto a large plate to reveal the cake with pineapple slices on top, then finish off with a garnish of maraschino cherries.
