This pineapple upside down cake is one of my recipes that I have adapted for the CROCK-POT. I can let it cook while I’m out shopping or in the yard, gardening and I have a dessert cake for afternoon tea or for dinner. I used a 7 - 8 inch cake tin that fits into my crock pot but you don’t need to if yours has a removable liner. I just find it easier to turn the cake out onto a plate without it sticking.
Ingredients:
4 rings of sliced pineapple
2 oz (60 g) butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablspn dessicated coconut (optional)6 red glace cherries Cake Mix: 2 oz (60 g) soft butter 1/2 cup caster sugar 1 egg 1/4 teasp vanilla essence 1 1/4 cups Self Raising Flour 1/2 cup milk
Pour the melted butter into the crock pot base and sprinkle over the brown sugar. Arrange the pineapple rings over the top with the glace cherries. If your crock pot base is oval cutting the pineapple will help to arrange it more evenly.
To make up the cake mix cream the butter and caster sugar until light and then beat in the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Sift the flour and fold into the batter alternatively with the milk. Pour into the CROCK-POT over the pineapple base. Cover with several paper towels and cook on high for 1 1/2 hours. Don’t open the lid until cooking nearly finished. Turn onto serving plate while still very warm so the topping doesn’t stick to the base of the pot.
Serve the pineapple upside down cake with a dab of cream or ice cream for a dessert or just warmed up with a cup of tea or coffee.

I love your site! And I love the idea behind it! I am about to attempt Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecake tonight, not sure how that will turn out!!
My son was just asking if we could make pineapple upside down cake. We are going to have to try this. I’ve never cooked a dessert in our crock pot before. Can’t wait to try it!

Man that looks good, I have not had that since I was a young girl. I may have to drag the crock pot out and dust it off.
