@ottaross pineapple upside down... ? Never heard of that... *pokes interestedly at links*
@aquasscum Oh you've got a treat coming! We had it fairly often when I was a kid. I haven't made it myself for years but now I'm going to have to. Pretty sure I have some tinned pineapple rings in the pantry, and I definitely have some frozen halved cherries in the freezer so it's all on.

The rules for EBTSC are basically just bake your version of the target cake this weekend (May 23-24).
For alternatives, if you don’t want to use the skillet approach, the Guardian recipe and article is VERY good:
How to make the perfect pineapple upside-down cake – recipe | Felicity Cloake's How to make the perfect …
Our resident perfectionist puts the favourite school pudding through its paces
the Guardian (www.theguardian.com)
Also the RecipeTin version is a more brief and to-the-point option to embrace:
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
You'll love this Pineapple Upside Down Cake - tender vanilla sponge studded with pineapple bits, infused with pineapple juice!

Happy #baking! -

@zeborah @aquasscum nice! That's a well prepared pantry!

@pa nice vintage recipes!

@ottaross Why do I have to find out about this when the cake of the event is the objectively worst cake?
@acroamatis lucky for you, the rules allow you to mess with the recipe and make it your own.
I'm thinking someone should do a banana version. The bottom/topping could turn into a tasty "banofee" version. -

@aquasscum Cool, a great way to discover it with a few dozen others to keep you company!

@ottaross egad I’m going to be away from home this coming weekend!
It’s a long weekend in the USA and so I will make it on the Monday!
Also I can’t believe no one has joked about Stranger Things yet…
@colinburgess oh, didn't realize it was a long weekend in the US. That might help get extra participants who may have some enhanced spare time, or family around to help them.
Last time I think there was one or two late-arrival versions. It was fun to see people enthusiastic to join in as they found the time.

@ottaross @catherine_alwaysaredhead
I don't know about using bananas, but in the 1970's some of us used canned peaches if we ran out of pineapple rings, and used pecan halves when the red dye in cherries was recalled and stores only had minty green (not good with pineapple, nuts to that). I should make yellow cake batter and do this this weekend!@MossyQuartz @catherine_alwaysaredhead oh cool. Peaches would indeed be a nice variant. Interesting.

Everybody Bakes the Same Cake is on for May 23-24!
The February event was a surprise success. So by popular request, a quarterly event is the plan, with a cake bake for each season.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is the retro, mid-century favourite: Pineapple Upside-down Cake.
Here's a reference recipe for your consideration:
Get your ingredients, bake your #cake, cut corners and mess around at will.
Share your result with the tag #EBTSC -

@ottaross bought canned pineapple today!
@aquasscum yay! The key ingredient.
I still need to shop and see what's handy – canned vs fresh – and go from there. Maybe tomorrow! -
