Upside Down Pineapple White Chocolate Dessert Cake

Ingredients

- 1 can of pineapple rings (reserve juice)
- 10 maraschino cherries
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Pan: Use a 9-inch round cake pan. Pour melted butter into the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter.

3. Arrange Toppings: Place pineapple rings over the brown sugar, fitting them in a single layer. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.

4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

5. Prepare Wet Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract until well mixed. Gradually add reserved pineapple juice from the can (about 1/2 cup) and beat until combined.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

7. Fold in Chocolate & Coconut: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips and coconut flakes.

8. Pour Batter: Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple rings in the prepared cake pan.

9. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

10. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and serve warm.
