The pineapple upside-down cake is a timeless dessert that has been around for many years. It is believed to have originated in the United States in the early 1900s and has since become a classic dessert enjoyed all around the world. This cake is made by arranging slices of pineapple on the bottom of a cake pan and topping it with cake batter before being baked to perfection. When it is removed from the oven, it is inverted onto a serving platter to reveal the beautiful golden pineapple topping that gives this cake its name.

7.	Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
8.	Pour cake batter over the pineapple slices in the dutch oven.
