I'm always up for trying new recipes, because even if they fail or turn out okayish, my folks will support me cheer me and eat the under-cooked / over-cooked outcome! :P
I had been wanting to try making the Pineapple Upside Down Cake since a long time but didn't have a easy eggless recipe. And then I came across Nestle India's Milkmaid website where they have many easy recipes using Milkmaid (Condensed Milk).
I used Hamilton Beach appliances to mix the batter and bake the cake.
The recipe is as follows:
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Upside down cakes are always glamorous, since you can see the fruity goodness showing off on the top. This one is a classic and must-bake in pineapple season. Tart and sweet, light yet satisfying; try one now and you’ll know what we’re talking about. P.S: Serve with a scoop of our Classic vanilla ice-cream for a soulful dessert experience.
Servings - 10 Preparation - 15 min Baking - 45 min
Ingredients
½ tsp-Yellow Food Colour (optional)
200 g-Maida (Flour)
100 g-Butter
6-Pineapple Slices
1 tsp-Baking Powder
1 tsp-Soda Bicarbonate
1/2 tsp-Pineapple Essence
1 tin (400g)-NESTLÉ MILKMAID Sweetened Condensed Milk
5-6 tbsp-Sugar for caramelisation
1 cup (150 ml)-Aerated Soda
How to make
Preheat oven to 180° C. Grease an 8" diameter cake tin. Arrange the pineapple slices at the base. Heat sugar in a pan till it melts and becomes brown. Pour this hot caramel over the pineapple slices and keep aside.
Melt butter, cool slightly. Add the NESTLÉ MILKMAID Sweetened Condensed Milk and beat well, add the essence. Sieve together maida, baking powder and soda bicarbonate. Add some maida to the NESTLÉ MILKMAID mixture and then add some aerated soda and mix well. Repeat, alternatively maida and aerated soda till both are used up.
Pour batter over pineapple slices in the cake tin and bake at 180°C for 45 minutes or till cake is done. Remove from oven, loosen the sides of cake using a knife and immediately turn onto a plate.

The cake came out beautifully done. Though this recipe first rises up like crazy and then settles back down, so keep in mind to use a mold that has enough space for the batter to rise or else your batter will overflow and drip. The cake is moist, soft and just so yummy! You can either have it fresh warm out of the oven along with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream, or you can refrigerate it and have it later!
