Upside-down Whole Wheat Pineapple Cake

Upside-down Whole Wheat Pineapple Cake

Usually Fruit Cakes are the best! And coming to thisĀ Upside-down Whole Wheat Pineapple Cake, its very healthy since I used Whole Wheat Flour and Brown Sugar.

Pineapple is one fruit that’s available in all season. Once they starts to smell and turn light yellowish, that’s when they are fully ripen.

I remember my school days, when I eat lots of spicy pineapple slices. And scream for water when my lips start itching. In my school days, I get 50 rupee as pocket money for a week. All the time I buy chocolates, till I found these spicy pineapple slices in a road side shop. They are so tasty when you add some chilli powder and salt.

This finely chopped will get dressed up in chilli powder and salt, while the remaining half will go in to the Upside-down Whole Wheat Pineapple Cake recipe.

Its a no frosting required Cake since the beauty of pineapple slices takes it all over. I decorated with some Cashews, you can use any nuts. I used fresh slices of Pineapple, you can always use the canned one also.
