Spiced Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Deliciously moist spiced Pineapple Cake, the perfect summer party bake. This recipe is based on Nigella Lawson’s Polenta Cake which I absolutely love. It’s so moist and buttery. I have added the spiced pineapple to add another flavour to the cake.

Ingredients

• 1 tin of pineapple rings
• 50g dark brown sugar
• 250g softened butter
• 200g caster sugar
• 3 eggs
• 100g polenta
• 200g ground almonds
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder (Make sure this is gluten free)
• 1 tsp ground cardamom
• 1 tsp ground mixed spice

Method

• Line a 9 inch cake tin with baking parchment.
• In the bottom of the tin place the pineapple rings, then top with small knobs of butter (around 50g). Then Sprinkle with  50g of dark brown sugar.
• In a mixing bowl combine the left over butter and caster sugar until soft and fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs one at a time.
• Then mix in the ground almonds, polenta, baking powder, cardamom and mixed spice.
• Spread this into the cake tin and bake at 180 degrees for around 45-50 minutes or until you can put a knife into the cake and it comes out clean.

Leave to cool, turn out and enjoy!
