Urgent Testing the Pineapple Upside Down Cake in Microwave

[ajnewchef]

I want to test the pineapple upside down microwave cake in the fluted stone. the recipe I have calls for 1 stick of butter 1 cup of brown sugar and 1 medium can of crushed pinapple. This goes in the pan first. then the cake mix 3 eggs and 16 oz of sour cream. It doesn't say anything about oil. Has anyone tried this recipe? I was wondering if I should add oil to the cake mix or not.

Never made this, but my guess is that you may not need oil. You have butter and sour cream which are both fats and may eliminate the need for oil.

never tried it but this is what I got from here. I don't see anything about sour cream. Just to make the cake mix as directed except using pineapple juice instead of water. Hope this helpsineapple upside down cake in the microwave:1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick) melted
1 cup brown sugarMix the two together, spread evenly in the bottom of the stoneware fluted pan
top with pineapple slices (did this at all my shows in feb. and used the Pineapple wedger and FRESH PINEAPPLE!) BIG HIT. Arrange the pineapple wedges together to form circles. Place 1 marracino cherry in the middle of each one.Mix cake mix according to package directions substituting the water with pineapple juice.
Pour over top of pineapple and brown sugar/butter mixture.Microwave on high 10-12 minutes............
flip out onto serving platter

I often use sour cream in place of the oil and water and the cakes turn out great.

General cake mixture: dry cake mix, 3 eggs, 16 oz sour cream (no oil). I don't see why it wouldn't work for a pineapple upside down cake.

Thanks everyone!! I am going to give it a try today at work. I'll let you know how it turns out. I made a strawberry cheesecake microwave cake and a chocolate lava cake at work last week. They were awesome!!!

I've never made it in the fluted stone, but I just posted a recipe for this using the DCB.

Ok I just made it!! It turned out AWESOME and LOOKS great. I didn't need any oil!! Here is the recipe I used:

Pineapple upside down Cake

1 Stick butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 medium siz can crushed pineapple

Compine these ingredients in the 8" or 10" saute skillet (I put it in batter bowl and microwaved it) until butter is melted and brown sugar dissolved. In 2 qt Batter bowl, mix a duncan heinz pineapple cake mix with 3 eggs and 16 oz sour cream. Pour tepid mixture of skillet into fluted pan and spoon cake mixture on top. Microwave for 12-13 minutes. Let rest 10-15 min and unmold and serve with whipped topping if desired.
