Upside Down & Lovin' It!
The term 'upside down' is not always positively speaking. However, on this day, it is definitely a day to be upside down and lovin' it! When it comes to baking, this delight was originally made in a skillet, thus, called 'skillet cake'. Fruit was placed in the skillet with batter poured on top, then, baked, inverted and voila! the bottom became a beautifully decorated top.
When canned pineapple rings became available in the first half of the
20th century, Pineapple Upside Down Cake became the rage—often with
maraschino cherries in the center of the pineapple rings. As the recipe
evolved, cooks put their skillets in the oven to bake. Nordicware,
creator of the bundt pan, created a special round pan with indentations for the pineapple slices, guaranteeing an even presentation. Upside Down Cake is related to the Tarte Tatin, an accidental upside-down pie from 1880s France. [Source: The Nibble]
