Preparing your oven ensures that your cake bakes evenly. While that\u2019s heating up, you can prepare your cake batter and topping.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-2-prepare-the-topping\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Prepare_the_Topping\"><\/span>Step 2: Prepare the Topping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir until well blended. Pour this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan, spreading it evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Now, arrange the pineapple slices over the butter and brown sugar mixture. If you like, you can add cherries in the center of each pineapple ring for an added touch of color and flavor. Set the prepared pan aside while you make the cake batter.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-3-make-the-cake-batter\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Make_the_Cake_Batter\"><\/span>Step 3: Make the Cake Batter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. This will create a smooth and creamy batter that\u2019s ready to be poured over your gorgeous pineapple topping.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-4-bake-the-cake\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Bake_the_Cake\"><\/span>Step 4: Bake the Cake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Carefully pour the cake batter over the pineapple and brown sugar mixture in the cake pan. Tilt the pan gently to ensure the batter covers the pineapples evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-5-let-it-cool-and-serve\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5_Let_it_Cool_and_Serve\"><\/span>Step 5: Let it Cool and Serve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once baked, take the cake out of the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. This is crucial, as it makes it easier to flip the cake without breaking. After cooling, run a knife around the edges of the pan. Carefully invert the cake onto a large plate or serving platter.<\/p>\n<p>Your <strong>Homemade Pineapple Upside Down Cake<\/strong> is now complete! You can serve it warm or at room temperature, and it pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wish.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"optional-add-ons\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optional_Add-Ons\"><\/span>Optional Add-Ons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Feeling creative?
