I think when it comes to summer fruit desserts are the best. When the air is warm, all you want to eat is something refreshing. Pineapple is one of the refreshing food that best eaten in the summer because it contains so much water in the fruit.
You can find pineapple everywhere, if you can’t get fresh pineapple, you can get the canned ones. And it’s not a strange fruit anymore. You can do pretty much anything with it. Eat it raw, canned, juice, jam, etc.
I grew up in Indonesia, you can pretty much plant pineapple anywhere you want. Just cut the head and plant it. You’ll have your own pineapple in 30 months 
I know it’s long time, but for some reasons I’m always obsessed with DYI things, including plating vegetables and fruits. I don’t like to take care of flowers that only look pretty. I prefer to plant something that will give me something. Habit
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup caramel
- 1 ripe pineapple, cored, sliced
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
How to:
- Pour the hot caramel to your baking pan. And place the pineapples on top of the caramel. Set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 170 C.
- Sift flour, baking soda and baking powder together. Set aside.
- Beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale.
- Add 1 egg at a time until incorporated.
- Add sour cream and mix well.
- Add vanilla extract. Mix.
- Add the flour mixture and mix well.
- Pour the batter to the pan. You should do it gently, so the pineapples won’t be messy.
- Bake it in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the top has nice golden brown colour.
- After your cake is baked, let it rest for half an hour before you take it out from the mould.
note: I personally like this cake a lot. I like the sweet and sour from pineapple and not-so-sweet cake. Another recipe from Raiza. And sorry for the short post, I am soooo very tired today.
I always go for something fruity in the summer. I also adore grilled pineapple, so this dessert looks perfect to me! Thanks for sharing.
Same here… I always make desserts with fruits during summer. Chocolate and creamy during winter.
Thank you for stopping by
Fun cake recipe! I love all fruit and pineapple has been my favorite since I was a kid. Looks sweet and delicious with all the pineapple and caramel. YUM!
Yup, very refreshing. Definitely one of my favourite summer dessert
Um…YUM! Although I’m going to totally reveal how much of a baking rookie I am by asking: What is caster sugar?
Caster or castor is sugar with very fine grains. But of course you can use any kind of sugar
It is also sometimes called ‘Baker’s Sugar’
I never know about that name, Sarah. Thanks for the info ^^
Thank you BOTH…now I feel smarter!
YUM! Pinneapple Upside down cake was my favorite when I was a little kid! I haven’t had it in YEARS…Now you have me craving it!
Hahaha… Great! All you have to do now is make it, I’m sure you’re stomach will be happy
It’s brilliant with apples as well. (and plums – but I don’t like them)
Haven’t had upside down pudding for ages! Will have to go shopping and get baking
Hmm… I’m not a big fan of apples my self
Yup yup! Should do that. Its ok to spoil your self with something nice one in a while
It looks YUMMY!
Thank you
That looks delicious! Do you make your own caramel? Or can you recommend a good one to purchase. I love using seasonal ingredients and while pineapple isn’t grown where I live, I do enjoy it during the summer months. Happy baking!
Yes, I made my own caramel. Very easy, 2/3 cup of brown sugar and 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
They don’t grow pineapple around here either. I currently live in Sweden, but almost all supermarkets selling this gorgeous fruit.
Thank you for stopping by
this looks yummy. thank you for the idea!
Thank you ^^
Una receta muy sabrosa…
This looks really good! Have you ever tried doing a banana upside-down cake? It’s also good!
No, not yet. But it’s in my baking list. I have lots of them
This looks amazing! Can you really grow a pineapple just by cutting the head off and planting it?
Yup, you can google or try to find a video on how growing a pineapple.
Because that’s what I always did when my mum bought pienapple, it’ll take a while until you can harvest it though
I would love to try this recipe! What do you use for the caramel? Do you make your own or use store-bought?
I made it my self. Very easy, 2/3 cup of brown sugar and 2 tbsp unsalted butter.
Please do try it and tell me what you think
This looks absolutely delightful! What a great dessert for summer!
Definitely..
Certainly a special treat. We used to eat pineapple upside down cake when I was a child. I remember that episode from the cartoon “The Jettsons” with the pineapple upside down cake.
We have to ignore how many calories in 1 slice to enjoy this treat though
Unfortunately my mum didn’t bake as much, so I just heard about this great cake recently.
I too made pineapple up-side down cake last week, yours look delicious. Congrats on being freshly pressed!

Hi Valerie, nice to meet you too ^^
Looks delicious! I grew up in Malaysia and love pineapple. Raw, cooked, baked, part of a dessert…just name it!
Then we’re pretty much the same ^^
I have never been a big fan of pineapple unpside down cake but maybe its because I haven’t had yours. This is making my mouth water! Are you a professional food photographer as well as a baker?
Congratulations on being fresh pressed
Ooh… very nice of you
Unfortunately I have no interest what so ever in photography world. Only cook and bake. But my husband is. You can check his blog here

I’ll quickly show it to my wife. It looks very tasty. When my loving wife will make it for me. I’ll invite you through your blog.
That sounds lovely!
I remember going to a ”show” dinner and the cook actually used tinned pineapple juice instead of oil because he said it was cheaper or healthier; I don’t really remember which one
What do you think?
Great post! Looks delicious!
Katie
Hmmm… doesn’t hurt to try.
Thank you for stopping by, Katie

Reblogged this on Flower Blossoms' Blog and commented:
If you have not had pineapple upside down cake for awhile, Ridha’s Kitchen has an excellent recipe for you to follow. Enjoy!
Mmmm…yummy thanks for sharing!
Pineapple upside down cake is one of my all time faves. Can I skip the caramel? I like fruity but not too sweet. Great recipe!
You can of course, but might get different result. I don’l like sweet my self but I like this one, because its not very sweet. Just enough. So you might want to try this recipe with caramel first and see what you think about it
I’ll do it.
Thanks
I always add pineapples to all my recipes. I love pineapples.
Look great! Awesome post… cant wait to try!
Thank you!
This is the perfect summer cake! Pineapple is so versatile, too, I could easily eat it morning noon and night. Thank you for a good one!

Hmm.. tell me about it, I’m far away from my mum too. And always miss her all the time..

Thank you
Yup, I love simple, easy and tasty things

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for trip back to my childhood! My Mom used to make pineapple upside-down cake frequently when we were kids. She used cherries instead of strawberries and did add the juice from the sliced pineapples into the mix. Thanks for the Great Story!
send me a piece…mah..ahhhhhh drip drip drip….water saliva dripping from my jawlines..lolz
That looks delicious!
Your cake looks so yummy! It makes me think of my dad and his pineapple cakes that he makes for family gatherings and special holidays.
Ooooh.. that must be really delicious. Too bad my dad can’t make any cakes, but he makes the best fried rice in the world!
It’s awesome to have dads who can cook!
I knoooow… there’s something special in their foods
It looks yummy. I’m sure it tastes yummy, too! Craving for it now! Mmmmm!
