Easter..Easter...Easter...
Be it Christmas or Easter.. After the midnight service.. we celebrate new beginnings! And Easter always brings new beginnings for us... Each year is so different..so wonderful.. so memorable!
Had to have something different..something new and exciting! I guess baking cakes is not difficult..there's a set of ingredients..get the hang of it and you know how to do it. Creating variations can be so much fun!
In search of something new and different and something that's new to mommy.. I picked out "The pineapple upside down cake" by Nigella Lawson.. (i know i know..u must be wondering how i adore her recipes..but trust me.. its addictive...and even u will fall into it! )
Preparing Indian cuisines is something that we do all the time.. But preparing various cuisines from around the world is what i love!
So here it was..my "Pineapple Upside Down Cake"...
Ingredients:
Grease the tin with butter and sprinkle 2 Tbsp of sugar on top of the butter base.
Beat the flour, baking powder, soda, butter, caster sugar, & egg till the batter is smooth. Add 3 Tbsp of the pineapple juice and mix well.
Pour the mix into the tin.
Since i baked the cake in a cooker. So i did not pre heat it before pouring in the batter nor did i follow the time of 30 minutes for baking. Rather, I poured in the batter making sure the slices and cherries don't move and kept the cake to bake for 1 hr on absolutely slow flame!
(Ideally, you need to pre-heat the oven @ 200degree Celsius. And bake the cake for just 30 minutes! )
After 1 Hr, pierce through the cake and make sure nothing is stuck to the needle.. and you know the cake is ready!.. Let it cool down and only then gently toss the cake upside down into a plate..
If you think the cake is stuck to the sides and has not come off by itself after cooling..then gently using a spatula.. separate it from the tin and the turn it upside down!
Toasting to good health, success, and renewed happiness...
