U is for Upside-Down Pineapple Cake! It's a retro 80s throwbacks for 'U'! This is a really moist sponge (know you all love that word S), and I actually think it's an underrated bake. Enjoy! Jill Stewart ( @jillbakes_ ) INGREDIENTS… For the upside down part: 50g butter, room temp 50g light soft brown sugar 7 pineapple rings in syrup or own juice, drained and keep 2 tbsp of the pineapple juice/syrup 7 glacé cherries For the cake: 200g butter, room temp 200g golden caster sugar

Is this the most classic bake of all time!? It's the easiest bake there is and an absolute staple at childhood birthday parties so T had to be for top hats . I've been making them with my two-year-old nephew lots recently (he's a big fan) and when you make them with good quality chocolate, they are actually so good. The big question is... do you choose a white or pink marshmallow one? Has to be white for me!! Jill Stewart ( @jillbakes_ ) INGREDIENTS… Makes 12 110g share bar
