Nordic Ware Pineapple Upside Down Cake Pan

 (28 customer reviews)

As some of the reviews below reveal, this cake pan was manufactured to be used for the traditional pineapple upside down cake. it performs as intended when you use a standard store-bought mix or common recipe for upisde down cake. If you get all experimntal and use heavier flours with far more protein content, you cake is gonna stick. if you must use a custom low-carb recipe, you are better off making your cake in a rectangle pan.

Nordicware usually includes a basic recipe with all their pans and mine came with it. it is sometimes on the reverse of the label so don't toss the label without looking. If you need a basic recipe, there is a very good one in the betty Crocker cookbook.

Another way to avoid sticking is to grease your Nordicware pan with crisco and then spray with baker's joy. Your cake should release easily then.

Remember, these pans were not designed for high protein cakes. use your rectangle pans for those. I am always amazed at...Read more

Although this pan is surprisingly light weight, it's wonderful for upside down cakes. There aren't as many pineapple molds as there are pineapple slices in a 20 ounce can (which the included recipe calls for), but you can easily work around it. The enclosed recipe for upside down cake makes a very heavy, moist cake, but the batter was a little unsweet for my taste, so I added extra bwon sugar, and I will definitely use this pan and recipe many, many more times.

This pan is inexpensive and makes a particularly beautiful round pineapple upside-down cake. I plan to use it for apple rings also. The recipe included is good; I used cake flour and more flavoring. Takes seven pineapple sections and has a space for each in the pan pattern. I'm buying two more for gifts.
