Time 1h15m

Yield 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 1/2 ounces unsalted butter
3 tablespoons water
1 1/4 cups toasted assorted unsalted nuts (toasted, skinned and chopped hazelnuts, slivered almonds, or walnuts are good)
6 ounces flour
1 1/2 ounces unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 ounces unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F and lightly butter the sides of a 9"x2" round cake pan.
  • To make caramel:.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, butter, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil and pour into the prepared pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Scatter in the nuts evenly and gently press them inches.
  • To make the cake:.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar; continue beating until fluffy. Stir in vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Sprinkle half of the flour mixture over the butter and mix on low speed just until the flour disappears. Add the buttermilk and mix until just blended. Lightly mix in the remaining flour. Scoop spoonfuls of batter onto the nuts and gently spread the batter evenly in the pan. Lightly tap the pan on the counter to settle the ingredients.
  • Bake until a pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Immediately run a paring knife around the inside edge of the pan. Set a flat serving plate on top of the pan and invert the cake. Let the inverted pan rest for about 3 minutes to let the topping settle. Gently remove the pan and serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!

HAWAIIAN PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE



Hawaiian Pineapple Upside Down Cake image

On my way to a Hawaiian-themed party, all I could think of was Pineapple Upside Down Cake. The recipes did not seem Hawaiian enough. The additions of coconut, banana and macadamia nuts brought the tropics to the recipe. I can't tell you how many people raved at the party. The whole cake is gone.
