Cookin' With Karin: On-The-Grill Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Week 4: Bill Waldbillig Of Madison's Recipe

In a large 10-12-Inch nonstick covered kettle, place the following:

  • Melt 1/4-pound, One stick of butter in kettle.
  • Add 1.5 cups of light brown sugar. Stir until it melts and blends with butter.
  • Drain and set aside juice from one can crushed or sliced pineapple
  • Place pineapple on top of sugar across entire bottom of pan.
  • Prepare batter from one box of white or yellow cake mix. Use drained syrup from can of pineapple and milk for liquid per recipe on box.

    Cook on low heat setting, placing pan away from direct flame. Remove when top of cake is medium to light brown and toothpick comes out dry. Turn off grill and carry kettle with hot pads on handles to breadboard covered with aluminum foil. Turn kettle over quickly and allow cake to drop to foil. Allow pan to cool before removing. Serve with cool whip, ice cream or whipped cream. Yummmmm!

    NOTES: This is easy and fun. Remember: Every grill is different. Some are hotter than others and they are designed to put a lot of direct heat on steaks and burgers. When I do this on my smaller grill at home, I do all the prep work in the kitchen. I preheat the outdoor grill using the lowest heat setting on only half of the grill. I then extend the cooking time and use the toothpick test. This slower, lower heat method prevents overheating and the direct heat on the bottom of the pan. I place the pan on the opposite side so the grill works as an oven and avoids the direct flame heat. -- Bill Waldbillig Of Madison
