Scratch Cake Makers Recipe

|
Melt Butter or Margarine Butter or Margarine may be melted directly in the skillet if you choose to bake your cake in a skillet. This can be done over the stove or in the oven. If you melt it in the oven, be sure to use a potholder when removing the pan from the oven. Use the basting brush to lubricate the sides of the pan with some of the butter or margarine.
If you are using a metal or glass baking dish you can either melt butter or margarine in a sauce pan or in a microwavable bowl. In case of the sauce pan, set flame at low setting and reduce to simmer after bubbling begins. Be careful not to let the butter or margarine burn. If using microwave, cover butter or margarine to prevent it from splattering and zap it for about thirty seconds. Zap for a few more seconds if necessary. Once melted completely, pour butter or margarine into baking dish. Remove excess butter or margarine from bowl or pan using the basting brush and lubricate the sides of the pan. Brown Sugar, Pineapples & Cherries Brown sugar should sprinkled evenly across the butter or margarine. This step does not require stirring. After brown sugar is spread, set pineapples from one side of the pan to the other and from top to bottom of the pan. Pineapples may also be placed against the sides of the pan if you want pineapples along the sides of your cake. In this case, slice pineapples in half and set them against the pan with the cut sides downward.
Remove stems from cherries and while doing so, squeeze cherries between thumb and forefinger to make sure no pits are present. Maraschino cherries are supposed to be pit-less, but sometimes manufacturers miss a pit or two.
Place cherries inside the pineapple holes.
*Pineapples canned in their own juice have a lot less calories than those canned in syrup. Remaining Ingredients Place remaining ingredients in the large bowl and beat them with a mixer for about thirty seconds. Scrape the bowl if necessary after mixing to make sure all ingredients are moistened. Beat a few more seconds if necessary to smooth after scraping bowl. Pour the Batter Pour batter over ingredients already in pan. Make sure all cherries and flat pineapples are covered. Batter should rest against but not cover sideways pineapples. Sideward fruit will get covered when cake rises. Bake the Cake Place pan with cake mixings in center of oven and bake for about fifty-five minutes. If you live in a high altitude, make normal adjustments you would make when baking a cake for this time period and at this temperature.
If you "must" check the cake periodically, at least avoid opening oven until end of cooking period. Using oven light to help you see through oven window is recommended over opening door, especially if you don't want your cake to sink! Check the Cake When cooking time has expired, cake should appear golden brown and should sit about even with rim of pan. If you lightly press top center of cake, it should spring back without denting.
Check to see if cake is cooked all the way through by inserting a toothpick or a thin blade knife (steak knife or dinner knife) in center of cake. The toothpick or knife should come out clean. If batter is on utensil, leave cake in oven for about five more minutes and then check it again. Cool and Flip the Cake Carefully remove pan of cake from oven and set it on a cooling rack for half an hour to forty-five minutes.
After cake has cooled, run back of a knife between edges of cake and pan to prevent cake from sticking to pan.
You must invert cake onto serving platter so pineapples become top portion of cake. Hence... "Upside Down Cake".
To invert the cake, or turn it upside down, place platter over pan, using both hands, hold pan and platter together in a squeezing manner. Quickly flip pan and platter so that platter rotates to the bottom and pan flips to the upper end.
Set dish on counter and slowly remove pan from cake.
Cover the Cake Place serving dish cover around cake or cover it loosely with foil until you are ready to serve it.
May be served warm or cool.
The amount of servings it makes depends on how big or small your slices.
Great with favorite ice-cream.
Enjoy!
