Five-Ingredient Upside-Down Cake

I LOVE this recipe. Trust me, people who are not on weight watchers and do not like anything "diet" love this dessert. This is a weight watcher recipe but it is not one that tastes like it. The edges taste buttery and crunchy and the rest tastes soft and wonderful. It is a perfect after dinner dessert.

Five-Ingredient Upside-Down Cake. Serves 10 WWPP 4

What you need:

1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 pound canned pineapple rings in juice (I just get the normal can with the pineapple rings in juice.), reserve 1/4 cup juice
1/4 pound unprepared vanilla cake mix, a little less than a cup
1 large egg
Preheat oven to 375˚F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 9-inch round, flameproof, aluminum pan over medium-low heat (make sure to cover entire pan bottom); sprinkle sugar over top. If you see, I have a problem with putting the pan right on the stove top, so I put a skillet on the heat and then put the pan on there. Works great.

Carefully place pineapple rings in a single layer in bottom of pan.

Increase heat to medium-high and cook until pineapple caramelizes, flipping once, about 2 minutes per side; remove pan from heat.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter on stove top or in microwave. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat egg with remaining melted butter. Add cake mix and reserved pineapple juice; combine well.

Pour batter over pineapple;

I take a spoon and spray the back of it with PAM then spread the batter across the pineapple slices

Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 30 to 35 minutes.

 Allow cake to cool for about 15 to 20 minutes; when still warm, loosen sides with a knife and invert cake onto a serving plate.

Slice into 10 pieces and serve. I use a pizza cutter to slice it.

 That it great. Have a great day. Thank you for stopping by the blog. Please share with your friends if you like. As always please comment if you like, or dislike.
