470. Growing up I really loved when my mother would bake and especially when she would make Pineapple Up-side-down Cake. It was the crunchy sweet edges and the red maraschino cherries that did me in. Would I have eaten all the edges and cherries first? Absolutely. And, I would have left the rest of the cake and pineapples for all that sugary sweetness.
A sweet tooth was a trait of mine from an early age. Although I have tamed this beast over the years, I still enjoy a sweet delightful treat in moderation.
A slight twist on this recipe is to replace the pineapple with any other fruit you choose. I chose to use red plums.
Here is my recipe:
"I'm really a scientist. I follow recipes exactly-until I decide not to. And then I'll follow something else exactly. I may decide I can turn this peach tart into a plum tart, but if I'm following a recipe, I follow it exactly."
