Sugar free pineapple upside down cake Recipe (not low carb)

 

Once you find a cake batter you Loooove, you kinda use it for everything lol 😂 


I haven't done anything for Tim's bday in years because I've been too weak and the walker just wasn't enough help. This morning I've been trying to come up with something super easy I could do for him from a wheelchair. Sooo thankful for this wheelchair! Now that the kitchen is set up for me to reach everything, I am gonna make his fav cake!! 😋


Bonus: it's suuuper easy!! 👏


Scroll to the bottom to see some variations like making it into coffee cake and/or sugar free!


Into 9x9 pan:

4 Tbsp melted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup coconut (optional) 

2 can pineapple or one medium or small fresh pineapple, chopped into chunks


Cake batter:


Using mixer till creamy:

1/3 cup room temp butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 egg

Then mix in carefully:

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp maple extract (don't skip - this totally makes the cake amazing! ) 


In separate bowl stir together:

1 1/2 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp seasalt


Pour dry into wet ingredients and Mix till smooth. 

Pour on top of pineapple


Bake 350 45-50 mins till golden on top. 


Cool 15 - 40 mins. It tastes so much better when it's cooled, trust me! 


Sugar free option:

I prefer half and half Xylitol and granulated Splenda for this cake to taste like actual cake and not chemicals. 

Use 3/4 of the amount of sugar or it's wayyyy too sweet. 

*Let cool completely before eating. 


Coffee cake option:

Replace the pineapple mixture with:

3 Tbsp melted butter

1/2 cup brown sugar 

2 Tbsp flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup pecans or walnuts

1/2 cup coconut (optional) 

Either put on bottom of pan bafore the batter (without the flour) or sprinkle on top. We've done both and like it either way! 

Bake at 375 for 35 mins or until top is golden
