Pineapple- Blackberry Upside-Down Cake

For the longest I lead maintain been wanting to brand Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 few weeks agone Nithya Krishnan, a fellow member of the Chef at Large grouping had posted a motion painting of the upside-down cake that she had made. She was also gracious plenty to render us alongside the link to the recipe that she had followed. It was a recipe past times Trisha Yearwood on Food Network. I looked at that link together with at to a greater extent than or less other recipe that I had seen together with compared the two. I decided to modify Trisha Yearwood's recipe together with brand the cake. In my domicile at that topographic point is an abundance of fresh fruits at all times. I create non purpose canned fruits. Hence,instead of canned pineapple, I lead maintain used fresh pineapple instead of canned together with blackberries instead of cherries.I lead maintain to confess though that the berries gave the pineapples a star-burst appearance which to a greater extent than or less may non notice aesthetically pleasing.I lead maintain also used kokosnoot stone oil instead of margarine together with reduced the sum of butter used.You tin notice the master copy recipe here. When I made the batter, I worried that the batter was also thick together with that it may non move plenty for the pan I used instead of the foursquare 8 inch x8 inch pan that the recipe called for. I had to literally spread the batter over the pineapples together with thence that they all could move covered. This had me worried that the cake layer would move also thin. I figured, if non a cake, I mightiness simply halt upwards alongside a pie.In the halt though, I realised that I worried needlessly. The cake was soft, fluffy together with the correct thickness. The gustatory modality was delicious alongside the correct sum of sweetness. My colleagues said it was Purrfect! The cake was gone inward no time! That was practiced for individual who made it the for the showtime time. I would definitely brand this again. I am also looking forwards to making an eggless version of it.
