Even if you are not a baker, I’ll bet you will have no trouble putting together this easy and pretty quick to prepare Pina Colada Upside Down Cake. The fresh pineapple makes all the difference in a simple recipe like this, although you can use canned in a pinch. I buy a fresh golden pineapple and keep it for several days until it is at the peak of its ripeness for the most intense pineapple flavor. The cake is a very simple one-bowl recipe that anyone can easily prepare.

Combine

4 cups fresh pineapple, cut in small cubes
3 tbsp melted butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup dark rum
2 tsp vanilla extract

Pour into the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking dish or 10 inch round cake pan.

Sift together:

1 1/3 cups flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
½ cup fine unsweetened shredded coconut

Add
¾ cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup very soft butter
2 tsp vanilla extract

Beat with an electric mixer for a minute or two until smooth. Pour the batter evenly over the pineapple mixture and bake at 350 degrees F for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

Wow what a GREAT idea! I'll bet the addition of coconut and rum really kicks up the flavor

I made this on the weekend when I had company over for supper....fantastic!! I replaced the oil with an equal amount of applesauce, still turned out great. I will definitely make it again.

I could use a little more rum in this dish. :) It looks amazing.
