Ingredients:

For the Topping:

1/4 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple slices, drained
1 large ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and sliced

For the Cake:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk


Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.


In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar until it is completely dissolved and caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.


Pour the caramelized sugar mixture into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.


Arrange the pineapple slices and mango slices on top of the caramelized sugar in a decorative pattern. Set aside.


In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.


In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.


Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.


Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.


Pour the cake batter over the arranged pineapple and mango slices in the cake pan, spreading it out evenly.


Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.


Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.


Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter or cake stand, allowing the caramelized fruit topping to fall gently onto the cake.


Peel off the parchment paper, revealing the beautiful golden fruit topping.


Slice and serve your Pineapple Mango Upside-Down Cake while still warm, and enjoy the tropical flavors that will transport you to paradise with every bite!
