Pineapple and honey upside-down-cake An easy and tasty way of making the most of a large tin of pineapple found at the back of a cupboard, some imperfect honey and only 4oz of precious SR flour! Makes 8. Two didn’t survive for photography! Ingredients: 6-8 rings of pineapple 3-8 glacé cherries (whole or halved) 6-8 dessert spoons of liquid honey 6-8 small round flan / yorkshire pudding tins, or a single swiss roll tin. A cake mix Put a dessert spoonful of honey in each tin, then a ring of pineapple and a cherry or half cherry in the centre. If using a large baking tray, space out pineapple rings appropriately. Top with preferred cake mix. This was a Victoria sandwich mix (4 oz margarine, creamed with 4 oz sugar, two beaten eggs whisked in gradually and 4 oz SR flour folded in) but fatless swiss roll mix is an alternative. Divide mix between tins, spreading mix over the pineapple - but mix will spread further during baking. Bake at 170-180C for 20-25 minutes or until each is golden and cake springs back on pressure. Allow to cool slightly and (divide if using a single tray) turn out into dishes and serve with custard or cream!
