Pineapple and Ginger Upsidedown Cake

We got a new magimix and this is an all-in-one cake that I remember from my childhood. Perfect for testing the new machine. It was utterly delicious and totally deserves a mention here. 

Ingredients
For the topping
50g softened butter
50g light soft brown sugar
7 pineapple rings in juice keep the juice!
2 tbsp candied ginger pieces

For the cake
100g self-raising flour
100g caster sugar
100g softened butter
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tbsp juice from pineapple
1 tbsp dark rum

Method

1. Heat oven to 180°C.

For the topping, beat 50g softened butter and 50g light soft brown sugar together until creamy. Spread over the base of a 20cm round cake tin. Arrange pineapple rings on top (reserving 1 tbsp juice for later), then spread ginger in the centres and edges.

Next put all the other ingredients into the magimix (or a bowl ready to whisk them together) and beat to a soft consistency.

Spoon into the tin on top of the pineapple and smooth it out so it’s level. Bake for 35 mins. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then turn out onto a plate.
