Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Just a little sweet treat you may want to try when you get some of the awesome THRIVE Pineapple Chunks!  The recipe is from the back of the #10 can of pineapple :).

Topping:
1 1/2 cups THRIVE Pineapple Chunks
1/2 cups pineapple juice or water
1/4 cup THRIVE Butter Powder (+1 tablespoon water)
2/3 cup brown sugar*
Cake Batter:
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour*
1/4 teaspoon salt*
2 teaspoons baking powder*
1/2 cup THRIVE Butter Powder (+ 2 tablespoons water)
3/4 cup white sugar*
1 teaspoon vanilla extract*
2 eggs*
1/2 cup milk*

Rehydrate THRIVE Pineapple Chunks with either water or pineapple juice. Place in the bottom of a greased 9-inch round pan (or 8x8 pan). In a saucepan, combine THRIVE Butter Powder, brown sugar, and water (you can use any leftover water from rehydrating the pineapple!). Bring to a boil and boil while stirring 1 minute. Pour over pineapple chunks.

To prepare batter, mix flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Mix THRIVE Butter Powder, 2 tablespoons water, and white sugar until creamed. Add vanilla and eggs; mix again. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk, mixing well in between each addition. Whip until light and fluffy. Pour batter over pineapple and smooth. Bake 45 to 55 minutes (mine took 35) or until golden and cooked through. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

*Denotes ingredients also available through THRIVE.

A couple notes... I ended up getting 12 pieces out of my 8x8 cake. I also altered this recipe a little to include it here... The original recipe says to rehydrate the THRIVE Pineapple chunks in the pan you're going to bake in... Yeah, don't do that. Or, if you do, pour out the remaining water. Because otherwise you end up with Pineapple Dump Cake more than Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Mine was a dump cake (at least visually...). Still tasted good.... But didn't have that pretty layer of caramel and pineapple on the bottom. Clearly I'm learning a lot :).

And only one more week before the Black Friday deals are out!!!  The word out is that all THRIVE Life products will be on sale -- so it's a great time to place those orders!!!  Contact me at THRIVEingNilla@gmail.com if you want to know the Black Friday deals, and I'll make sure to add you to my email list!
