Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Make the topping:
2. 2
   Cream butter and sugar and spread over the base of a deep cake tin. A loose bottomed tin can make it easier to remove the cake later - or you can line it with a piece of baking paper if you're nervous!
3. 3
   Arrange fruit on top. If you like you can put a glace cherry in the centre of each pineapple ring.
4. 4
   Make the sponge:
5. 5
   Cream butter and sugar.
6. 6
   Add beaten egg and vanilla.
7. 7
   Add sifted flour and baking powder alternately with milk (or use juice - not syrup - from the tin instead of milk).
8. 8
   Pour sponge mixture on top of fruit.
9. 9
   Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
10. 10
    Let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a plate.
