Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Coat a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.

02

Step

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar, stirring until just dissolved. Cook until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan.

03

Step

Arrange pineapple in a single layer of diagonal rows over the brown sugar mixture.

04

Step

Whisk together both flours, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl.

05

Step

Beat together white sugar and 1 cup butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in 1/2 of the flour mixture, followed by 1/2 of the sour cream; repeat.

06

Step

Spread batter over pineapple in the pan.

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 65 to 70 minutes.

08

Step

Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a platter.

For a deeper caramel flavor, consider using dark brown sugar.
Ensure your butter is truly at room temperature for a smooth and creamy batter.
To prevent sticking, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper before spraying with cooking spray.
Letting the cake cool for the full 10 minutes before inverting is crucial to allow the caramel to set slightly.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
