About National Pineapple Upside-down Cake Day
United States
Ends: Apr 20, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Pineapple Upside-down Cake Day celebrates the centuries-old sweet treat.
The recipe for the flipped cake came about due to an invention in 1911 by the Dole Fruit Company of Hawaii.
For centuries, cast iron skillets were a kitchen staple. Rather than stoves and ovens, most people had open fires on which they cooked. To develop a tasty treat, cooks often put nuts and fruits mixed with butter and sugar in the bottom of the skillet, cover it with batter and let it cook. When it was done, they flipped it over and served.
Fast forward to the 20th century.
On the islands of Hawaii, a food dynasty was developing around the pineapple via the Dole family. How does one get a big fruit like pineapple into a tiny can? Fruits are perishable, and if one wanted to sell them year around anywhere in the world, they needed to be canned.
In 1911 Dole engineers developed a coring machine for pineapple that created the now familiar rings. These rings, readily available all over the world, soon inspired cooks.
The first printed recipe for an upside-down pineapple cake appears to be in 1924 in the city of Seattle, Washington, US. The cookbook was sold to raise funds for a charity, and the following year a full-color picture and recipe appeared in a Gold Medal Flour advertisement dated November 1925.
