[cambourne7]

I have been listening to a series of audio books at work (i work nights it keeps me sane) http://www.evanovich.com/novels/plum-series/ and there big on food and i am usually starving listening to it :) Well at the end of some of the books they have an interview with the author. She mentioned that they have the recipes for some of the items on the web site. Could not find them so contacted the author and shes emailed me back one to share :) Guess what i am making Easter :)

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

3 eggs
1 cup of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons unsweetened pineapple juice
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup brown sugar
Unsweetened pineapple slices

Melt the butter in a nine inch pie plate. Dump brown sugar into the plate and mash with a fork until it's all mixed with the melted butter and covers the bottom of the plate. Arrange pineapple slices on bottom of plate in single layer. Mix eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder and pineapple juice by hand in a small bowl until smooth. Pour mixture over pineapple slices. Bake in a 350 degree oven until a pick comes out clean (maybe 30-45 min.) Remove cake from oven and set on rack for a couple minutes. Put cake plate over the hot cake in the pie plate and CAREFULLY but quickly turn the pie plate upside down. Remove pie plate and let cake cool to room temperature. Pineapple slices should be on top! (If you let the cake cool in the pie plate you'll NEVER get it out). When cool spread lots of globs of whipped cream on it ...the real stuff, none of that fake stuff in a can! Eat too much.
