You can bake your own cake. And you can make it with quality ingredients!

You'll have to run the oven though!


Shortening is not a quality ingredient! 🤮

Most people have flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, milk and vanilla at home already!

Is that by chance the Justin Wilson recipe for a pineapple upside down cake? I've been meaning to try that one.
No!

Here is what I think I used, after all I took a screen shot of the ingredients!

Basic yellow cake from scratch

Then if I remember right I used the recipe in the lodge "Field Guide to Dutch Oven Cooking"!

Pretty sure I omited the water and used the pineapple juice with milk to make the 1-1/4 cups.

It was my first and only time making it.

Looks like I will have to do it again soon! 🙂
And take notes!

I remembered after seeing the recipe, old Justin (may he R.I.P.) used pecans in his version.

Justin Wilson's Pineapple Downside Up Cake

1/4 lb. (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
6-9 pineapple rings (reserve 1/2 cup juice)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Dash of salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in 9 or 10 inch deep skillet or baking dish. Stir in brown sugar. Arrange pineapple slices and sprinkle on pecans.
Mix eggs, sugar, juice and vanilla in large bowl.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix with egg mixture.
Pour batter over arranged pineapple. Bake 45-50 minutes. Cool thoroughly and invert onto platter.

Now that Joe, and Ho, have SOLD the right to set world Crude Oil prices back to OPEC, ON HIS VERY FIRST DAY IN OFFICE, by canceling every executive order President Trump put in place, that allowed us to be ENERGY INDEPENDENT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 50 YEARS, AND THEREFORE CONTROL WORLD CRUDE OIL PRICES! This will effect the price of EVERYTHING that must be farmed, harvested, processed, and transported, including all FOOD! BENCH MARK CRUDE OIL WAS $34.00 PER 42 BBL. ON ELECTION DAY 2020, TODAY IT IS $80.00 BBL. BY NEXT SUMMER IT WILL BE $150.00 BBL AGAIN, REMEMBER? ENJOY WHAT YOU VOTED FOR, OR FAILED TO VOTE AGAINST!
