How do you flip an upside down pineapple cake?

Answer 1

1

Prepare the cake mixes, following the directions on the back of the box. This will involve adding eggs, vegetable oil and water to the cake mix and mixing until all lumps are gone.

• 2

Place a piece of wax paper in the bottom of each cake pan.

• 3

Fill each of the cake pans slightly more than halfway full. There will be a little batter left over to discard or bake separately.

• 4

Bake the cakes for the time suggested on the box. Check for doneness by placing a butter knife or toothpick in the center of each layer. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

• 5

Allow the cakes to cool completely, then remove them from the pans.

• 6

Trim off the bubble that formed on the top of each layer during baking so the tops are flat.

• 7

Cut one 6-inch layer and one 8-inch layer diagonally from the top corner on one side to the bottom corner on the opposite side. The result will be two identical wedges of cake.

Assembly

• 1

  Place a round layer as the base of each tier, and attach a wedge piece, flat side down, to the top of the base piece with frosting. Then place the second wedge piece on the very top so the largest parts of the two wedges are on the same side.

• 2

  Carve the tiers slightly to ensure that the sides have an even look to them. Trim only small pieces at a time.

• 3

  Carve a well in the bottom tier to support the upper tier. This well should be barely large enough to accommodate the circumference of the higher tier once covered with fondant. The well should offer a flat resting place for the upper tier. Therefore, the well will be deeper into the topsy-turvy cake on one side than the other. The deepest part of the well should be no deeper than 1 inch into the top of the bottom tier. This well can be carved using the knife and the 6-inch cake pan to measure the size.

• 4

  Cover each tier with a layer of frosting then fondant. Be careful to roll out the fondant to the right size. Having to remove a placed fondant to reroll it can be tricky and messy. To place fondant, simply lay the rolled out fondant down gently onto the top of each tier and use the fondant smoother to get an even look. Leave the well at the top of the lower tier empty. Trim off any extra fondant from the sides.

Answer 2

Place whatever you like to be ontop of the cake (commonly, it is pineapple, to make a pineapple upsidedown cake) in the bottom of the pan. Using a bundt pan or a deep circular pan is best. Shallow rectangular pan are not very good for upside down cakes. Then pour in the batter or cake mix and bake accordingly. Once it is finished and cooled, flip the cake out of the pan so that what was on the bottom of the pan is now the top of the cake, and you have an upsidedown cake!

Answer 3

Upside down cake usually involves some type of fruit like pineapple and cherries or apple slices. You line the bottom of the pan with butter, sugar, and the fruit arranged in a pretty pattern then you pour over the cake batter. Then when the cake is baked and cooled, you turn the cake out onto a plate so that the fruit is now on top.

Answer 4

Wait until the cake cools, cut around the edges, hold plate over the top, flip the whole (plate and cake) over, cake slides out.

Answer 5

You cook it that way and it is right side up when you dump it from the pan
