Directions: |
Directions:Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Generously butter the inside of a 10-ounce ramekin.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Pour this mixture into the ramekin, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
Place a pineapple slice in the ramekin and add the cherry in the center hole of the pineapple.
In another small bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until well mixed.
Incorporate the egg yolk and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Blend in the milk.
Pour the batter over the pineapple in the ramekin, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
After baking, place the ramekin on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Then, cover the ramekin with a plate and carefully invert it. The cake should easily release onto the plate. |

Notes: Butter the Ramekin: Be sure to generously butter the ramekin for easy cake release.
Even Fruit Layer: Arrange the pineapple and cherry neatly for a beautiful presentation after flipping the cake.
Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the cake; it should come out clean when done.
Cool Before Flipping: Let the cake cool for a few minutes in the ramekin before flipping to prevent breaking.
Serve Warm: For the best flavor and texture, enjoy the cake while it’s still warm.

Upside Down Cake with Berries: For a berry-filled upside down cake, replace the pineapple with a mix of berries such as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. This berry-rich variant offers a delightful burst of fresh, tart flavors.
Caramel Apple Upside Down Cake: By using thinly sliced apples in place of pineapple, you can bake a caramel apple cake. The apples caramelize beautifully, offering a comforting, autumn-inspired treat.
