Nick visits the butcher shop and the chicken coop and prepares pork chops with apple & whiskey sauce and a pineapple upside-down cake that will rekindle your memory and seduce your palate.
Ingredients [1]
- ¾ cup Golden Brown or Light Brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 20-ounce can pineapple rings, drained
- Maraschino cherries
- Batter:
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk
Method [1]
- In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the brown sugar and the butter, and cook, stirring well, until the mixture starts to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
- Pour this mixture into a baking pan, then add the pineapple rings. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and a few cherries around the outside of each ring.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- To prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients, then add the eggs and mix well, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the melted butter and the milk, and keep stirring until they are completely incorporated.
- The batter will be stiff. Pour it over the pineapple and spread it well. Then bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
To Serve [1]
Let the cake rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes, then loosen the sides of the cake with a butter knife and invert it onto a serving dish.
