Pineapple upside-down cake
An upside-down cake with pineapple rings caramelized in sugar.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh pineapple rounds, or canned in sugar-free syrup (200 g / 7 oz) — for the caramel
- ⅓ cup sugar (65 g / 2¼ oz) — for the caramel; no added sugar: ½ cup erythritol (100 g)
- 3 tbsp water (45 g / 1½ oz) — for the caramel
- 1½ cups almond flour (144 g / 5 oz) — for the batter
- ½ cup coconut flour (56 g / 2 oz) — for the batter
- ⅓ cup sugar (65 g / 2¼ oz) — for the batter; no added sugar: ½ cup erythritol (100 g)
- 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
- 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
- ⅓ cup coconut oil (67 g / 2¼ oz)
- ½ cup coconut milk, or pineapple juice (120 g / 4 oz)
In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- In a small saucepan, melt the sugar with the water over low heat (about 160 °C (325 °F)). In the no-added-sugar version, the erythritol won't turn golden like sugar, but it will melt and turn liquid.
The full method (7 steps), Rico's tip, the Thermomix® or similar version, the variations and storage are in the ebook “Snacks & Sweets”. The English edition is coming soon.
