             PINE APPLE UPSIDE DOWN

Ingredients:
Topping
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
sliced pineapple (6-8 canned slices or use fresh)
15-20 maraschino cherries

Cake
1 and 2/3 cups (210g) sifted all-purpose flour, careful not to overmeasure 1
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 large egg, room temperature preferred
1/4 cup (60g) yogurt2
1/2 cup (120ml) milk3
1/4 (60ml) cup pineapple juice (reserved from the canned pineapple or use fresh)
1 Tablespoon (15ml) vanilla extract

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Prepare topping first: Place 1/4 cup of melted butter into a 9-inch pie dish or 9x2 inch (deep dish) round cake pan. Make sure it is a deep pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Top with pineapple slices and arrange cherries between the pineapple slices. See my photo for a visual. Set aside.
Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter in the microwave. Whisk in the sugars vigorously getting out any brown sugar lumps - mixture will be gritty. Whisk in egg, yogurt, milk, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until combined. Slowly mix in dry ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be thick.
Pour/spoon batter into prepared pan. Make sure it's not overflowing-- this recipe makes enough batter for your deep dish pan. If you find there is too much batter, make a couple cupcakes (20 minutes bake time) on the side. Bake for at 40-48 minutes. Cover loosely with aluminum foil (loosely to avoid the top from sticking to the foil) at the 20 minute mark to avoid browning. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Invert cake on top of a cake stand or a large serving plate. Slice and serve warm, room temperature, or even cold. Try serving with vanilla ice cream - it's a delicious combination. Cover cake and store for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
Make ahead tip: This isn't the best cake to make ahead of time because the pineapples will settle down into the cake- while still tasty, the presentation won't be as pleasing. You can, however, prepare the wet (cover and refrigerate) and dry ingredients (cover at room temperature) separately and bake the cake the day of. Let the wet ingredients come to room temperature before mixing.

SWISS ROLL


INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CAKE:
Butter, For Greasing
1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Plus More For Sprinkling
1/3 cup All-purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
4 Large Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
4 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
FOR THE CREAM FILLING:
1 cup Heavy Cream
1/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
FOR THE CHOCOLATE GANACHE:
4 ounces, weight Bittersweet Chocolate Chips Or Chopped Chocolate
1/2 cup Heavy Cream
1 Tablespoon Milk

INSTRUCTIONS:
To make the chocolate cake, preheat the oven to 425ºF. Place a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat on a 17x12 sheet pan, and rub butter on it to grease.

In a large bowl, whisk to combine the cocoa powder, flour, and salt.

Bring an inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Combine the eggs and sugar in a heatproof glass bowl, then place over the simmering water (make sure the water doesn’t touch the bowl). Using a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together over medium speed for about two minutes, until the eggs are thick, pale yellow, and warm to the touch (if you have a thermometer, you want the eggs to be about 120ºF. If you don’t have a thermometer, just touch the mixture with your finger every once in a while until it feels like hot tap water). 

Remove the egg bowl from the heat and continue beating at medium high speed for another 3 minutes, until it’s thick and airy, and has reached the ribbon stage. That means when you drag and drizzle a spoonful of the liquid, it shouldn’t settle back into the liquid for a good 5–10 seconds. Mix in the melted butter.

Add the dry ingredients to the mixture, and gently fold it into the eggs with a spatula, working quickly. Spread the batter onto the buttered parchment or silicone mat, leaving an inch from the edges. Bake the cake for 5–6 minutes, until springy to the touch.

Place a piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder. Flip the cake onto the parchment, then remove the parchment or silicone mat that the cake baked on. Gently roll the cake up into a log while it’s still warm. This is like muscle memory for the cake, and it will roll easier again later.

To make the filling, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, and whip with a hand mixer to stiff peaks, about 5 minutes on medium speed. 

Unroll the cooled cake, then spread the cream all over, leave a 1-inch border around all edges. Roll the cake up gently (leaving the parchment paper behind), then place on a wire rack.

To make the chocolate ganache, microwave the cream and chocolate in a heatproof bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each time, until combined. Add the tablespoon of milk, which will give a more pourable consistency. Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the cake, then refrigerate for 20 minutes before serving, so the ganache can firm up.


The cake is now ready to be sliced and served. Enjoy!
