Pineapple Upside Down Cake - 12"Skillet

[bridgetbakes]

Hiya folks. I have done this recipe in the small saute pan before but need to make it today in the Exec 12" skillet. I noticed the recipe here (listed under files section) calls for the skillet to be covered. If I don't have the cover, do you think this will still come out alright? Has anyone tried without?

Hi I NEVER use the cover and it turns out great. Hmmm, I wonder what difference the covering makes.

I made this cake in the 12" skillet this past Sunday at a show and did not cover it. Came out perfect and everyone raved about it! This is such an easy cake. I made the cake at the host's house before the guests arrived (it was baking when the guests arrived) and the host's 6 year old daughter helped me make it...it was so much fun...I can't wait to have a little chef of my own!

I've prepared the Jiffy cake mix in the 8" skillet without a cover, and a full cake mix version in the 12" family skillet without a cover. Both were very
successful, and huge success with the guests. Just know that the larger pan requires a double recipe of the ingredients of the 8" skillet, and because of the size, may require an extra 5 to 10 minutes baking time. Be sure that the center is firm and the cake is pulling away from the side of the pan.

I made it without the cover - no problem and everyone loved it (except me because it had no chocolate in it - LOL)

You know - that's my delimma.....I keep thinking it would be good for a show, but then I think....but how does it compare to the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake or The Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownie? Chocolate always wins out for me!

Thanks everyone! I DID make it this afternoon without the cover and came put awesome.

It was a little tricky flipping it over however. I thought it would look nice on the Large square platter but I couldn't really figure out how to do the "flip" smoothly so I ended up flipping it onto my Large Round Stone...not as pretty as the platter but still workable!

I use my large round stone also...not as pretty but by the time the guests see the cake they don't care about what its on they just want to get into it!!

I've made it once. It was for a party here at my house. I too had issues with flipping it out on the platter. It (the cake) broke....OH WELL! No one is perfect!

You can make Pineapple Upside Down with chocolate cake. There was a stovetop chocolate pineapple cake on the cover of Una Muestra a couple of years ago. It was delish!

Bridget, how do you make the cake in the saute pan? Do you have a recipe for it? Its the only piece of cookware that I have so that would be great!

I flip mine onto the largae round stone as well, but the large round stone is on the woven tray. Looks a little nicer =)

I don't have the skillet so I haven't tried it in that but I have done a Pineapple Upside Down Cake in the fluted stone in the microwave.

It was a bit messy but I think because I left the pineapples in the juice instead of putting the juice in the cake mix.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake - 8" Saute panRossDeb2 -

Forgot to mention that this comes out much better if you use the pineapple juice from the can of pineapple in place of the water called for in the cake mix!

Good luck!
