🍍 Jamie Oliver Pineapple Upside-down Cake Ingredients

200 ml runny honey, divided
2 x 425 g tins of pineapple rings in juice, drained and juice reserved
200 ml vegetable oil
200 g self-raising flour
500 ml natural yoghurt, divided
200 g desiccated coconut, divided
2 large eggs
12 glacé cherries

🥮 How To Make Jamie Oliver Pineapple Upside-down Cake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or gas mark 4. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the honey to the pan. Arrange 12 pineapple rings in a single layer in the pan. Reserve the pineapple juice for later.
Cook the pineapple for 4 to 5 minutes on one side, until the honey has almost disappeared and the pineapple starts to caramelize.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining honey, vegetable oil, self-raising flour, 200 ml of yoghurt, and most of the desiccated coconut. Crack in the eggs and mix everything together with a spatula. Loosen the batter with 2 tablespoons of the reserved pineapple juice.
Line a 30 cm x 20 cm (12 inch x 8 inch) roasting tray with greaseproof paper. Arrange the caramelized pineapple rings in the tray, caramelized side down, slightly overlapping. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the pineapple. Place a glacé cherry in the center of each pineapple ring. Pour the batter over the pineapple and cherries, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and cooked through. You can test it by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
Carefully turn the cake out onto a board and peel off the greaseproof paper. Top the cake with a dollop of the remaining yoghurt and sprinkle with the reserved desiccated coconut. Serve the cake warm.

💭 Recipe Tips

Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your pineapple rings and cherries are fresh for the best taste.
Caramelize Well: Let the pineapple rings caramelize in the honey until they are nicely browned and sweet.
Measure Exactly: Measure all ingredients carefully to get the right texture for your cake.
Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just enough to combine the ingredients, so it stays light.
Cool Before Flipping: Let the cake cool a bit before turning it out of the pan to prevent it from breaking or sticking.
