• Choose quality pineapple : If using canned pineapple, opt for high-quality pineapple slices, preferably those preserved in their natural juice.

• Use a non-stick pan : Use a non-stick pan or grease and flour your pan to facilitate the cake's release.
• Arrange the pineapple slices harmoniously : If placing the pineapple slices at the bottom of the pan, make sure to arrange them harmoniously for a beautiful presentation when the cake is flipped.
• Lightly caramelize the sugar : For a delicious caramel taste, lightly sprinkle the bottom of the pan with sugar before arranging the pineapple slices. The heat from the oven will caramelize them during baking.
• Prepare a light batter : Be sure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake. Mix just enough for the ingredients to be incorporated.
• Use sifted flour : Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt to avoid lumps in the batter.
• Preheat the oven : Make sure the oven is properly preheated to the right temperature before placing the cake in for even baking.
• Monitor the baking : Check the baking progress regularly from 30 minutes onwards. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, and the cake is ready when it is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let it rest before unmolding : Once out of the oven, let the cake rest for a few minutes in the pan. This will help stabilize the structure and ease the unmolding process.
• Unmold carefully : When unmolding the cake, place a plate or serving dish on the pan, flip it over, and wait a few moments before lifting the pan to prevent the pineapple slices from sticking to the bottom.
