This delicious, timeless classic, used to be a mainstay of local bakeshops. However, in recent years, the introduction of modern, innovative, and trending cakes has pushed the Pineapple Upside Down Cake and other old-world favorites off the shelves. So, we are bringing it back for all our students to enjoy! Our recipe has been with the Prats family for over 50 years, and harkens back to the 1960s, when the family matriarch, Myrna Prats, came up with the recipe and started serving it to her family and friends. It starts out with a moist, tender, and fine-grained pound cake crowned with juicy pineapple rings and cherries in a brown sugar and butter syrup with a hint of cinnamon. This cake is a winner and will surely take you back to your childhood days!This class was designed to equip the learner with the necessary knowledge and skill to make our version of the definitive Pineapple Upside Down Cake. In this class, students will learn the fundamental techniques on how to prepare the different components of the dessert: the topping, the cake batter, and the optional glaze. Furthermore, we will show you how to present the cake in two ways…as a single showstopper cake, and as individual, pre-portioned servings. The easy, step-by-step tutorial, coupled with our signature fool-proof recipe allows every student to prepare the recipe with ease and confidence. Valuable tips on mise-en-place, ingredient and equipment identification, storage and shelf life of the finished product, as well as advice on costing, are also included in this much-anticipated class.
