Pineapple upside-down cake

This recipe combines the acidic sweetness of pineapple with the softness of cake batter.

In addition to pineapple, you can use coconut, peach, banana, use creativity. The medium-colored caramel is the protagonist and must be prepared beforehand, placed in the mold so that it cools and does not cook the pineapple.

I used water to make the dough very light as a liquid, if you choose fruit juice, you must boil it first.

The cake turns out beautifully and should be unmolded while still a little warm very carefully. I used a removable rim pan.

150 g unsalted butter
250 g caster sugar (plus 160 g for the caramel)
220 g eggs, approximately between 4 and 5 units, yolks separated from the whites.
