maraschino cherries*


cake:
1 1/2 cups flour**
1 loving loving cup sugar

*If you lot tin discovery them, Luxardo Maraschino Cherries are practiced worth the extra price. They are miles away from the syrupy, garishly ruby cherries found inward the supermarket for $1.50.

**I used White Lily flour which, acre non quite cake flour, is slightly lighter than all-purpose.

***Traditionally, pineapple upside-down cakes are made inward cast iron skillets. I don't select comport proceed a 10-inch skillet (and my 12- equally good equally 14-inch skillets seemed likewise big) thence I used a springform pan, which I remember flora only every fleck well.

My thoughts:

Another recipe I created for our annual "decade" themed meal(s). This yr it was the 1920s!

Pineapple upside downwards cakes exploded inward popularity during the 1920s. Thanks to Dole, canned pineapple was readily available. Upside downwards cakes made inward cast iron skillets had already been pop for many years thence it made experience that when the average somebody had access to pineapple, they'd contain them. Upside downwards cakes are wonderful to serve because despite beingness relatively simple, they are impressive equally good equally cheerful looking when presented. They tin also endure made a twenty-four hours ahead of 4th dimension (stored unrefrigerated) equally good equally take no icing, which is swell for whatever lastly min dessert needs. I'd remember nearly people select all of the ingredients inward their cabinets at all times. I know I do.

For this cake, I made a black rum caramel sauce for the "topping" equally good equally used fancy maraschino cherries which feel of relish amazing, equally good equally really similar cherries. I added a chip of cardamom to the cake every fleck thence many '20s recipes did but much less than more than or less recipes I've seen that hollo upward band for 2-3 equally good equally fifty-fifty 4 teaspoons of cardamom. That seemed a chip much. One teaspoon is only enough, I think. If it really was the Prohibition era 1920s, I mightiness non endure able to function my hands on actual rum thence experience unloosen to sub inward more than or less skillful grapheme rum flavoring instead. The 1920s was when the usage of vanilla equally good equally other extracts rose equally good equally became usual place. I also used more than or less yummy vanilla mucilage by Heilala Vanilla instead of extract equally good equally the cake was flecked alongside tiny vanilla seeds. The cake itself is simultaneously dense equally good equally light, substantial plenty to concur upward the topping without getting soggy (even afterward a set out of days) but alongside a lite crumb equally good equally flavor. I remember this is because I used a lot of baking pulverization equally good equally it shape of rose high then gently fell during the baking process.

I select to say, this is quite possible my husband's favorite cake of all that I've made over the years. He could non stop raving nearly it equally good equally has requested that a version of it to construct an appearance at his birthday inward May. It really was a pleasure to eat. I tin run across why they were thence popular!
