RECIPE: Pineapple Upside-Down Cake (from Gullah Geechee Home Cooking by Emily Meggett)
Serves 8 to 10
I learned how to make this dish at the Dodge house, but I made it my own by creating my own brown sugar crust, the real star of this dessert. Pineapple upside-down cakes can be found throughout the American South, but my cake is one of the lightest and perfectly sweet versions in South Carolina. If time is short, you can use a yellow cake mix instead of the cake batter.
CRUST:
1 cup (220 g) packed brown sugar
¼ cup (½ stick/55 g) unsalted butter, melted
1 (20-ounce/567 g) can pineapple slices
½ (10-ounce/283 g) jar maraschino cherries, drained
FOR THE CAKE BATTER:
2 large eggs
¾ cup (1½ sticks/170 g) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
2½ cups (325 g) cake flour, preferably Swans Down
2½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (260 ml) milk, whole or 2%
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FOR SERVING (OPTIONAL):
Sweetened whipped cream
Preheat the oven to 350°F (170°C).
Make the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and butter. Using a spoon, press the mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch (25 cm) round cake pan, ensuring that the bottom is fully covered.
Open the pineapple can, and drain the pineapple juice from pineapples, saving the pineapple juice. Place the pineapple rings on the brown sugar mixture in an arrangement of your liking. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
Make the cake batter: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat all the ingredients and 1/3 cup (75 ml) of the reserved pineapple juice together. Once combined, pour the mixture over the pineapple.
Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until done—an inserted toothpick should be clean when removed.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely. Once cooled, turn the cake upside down onto a cake plate. You will get to see your pineapple and cherries on the top. Slice and serve with whipped cream, if you’d like.
The first major Gullah Geechee cookbook from “the matriarch of Edisto Island,” who provides delicious recipes and the history of an overlooked American community
The history of the Gullah and Geechee people stretches back centuries, when enslaved members of this community were historically isolated from the rest of the South because of their location on the Sea Islands of coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Today, this Lowcountry community represents the most direct living link to the traditional culture, language, and foodways of their West African ancestors.
Gullah Geechee Home Cooking, written by Emily Meggett, the matriarch of Edisto Island, is the preeminent Gullah cookbook. At 89 years old, and with more than 50 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Meggett is a respected elder in the Gullah community of South Carolina. She has lived on the island all her life, and even at her age, still cooks for hundreds of people out of her hallowed home kitchen. Her house is a place of pilgrimage for anyone with an interest in Gullah Geechee food. Meggett’s Gullah food is rich and flavorful, though it is also often lighter and more seasonal than other types of Southern cooking. Heirloom rice, fresh-caught seafood, local game, and vegetables are key to her recipes for regional delicacies like fried oysters, collard greens, and stone-ground grits. This cookbook includes not only delicious and accessible recipes, but also snippets of the Meggett family history on Edisto Island, which stretches back into the 19th century. Rich in both flavor and history, Meggett’s Gullah Geechee Home Cooking is a testament to the syncretism of West African and American cultures that makes her home of Edisto Island so unique.
