This Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a nostalgic treat with a caramelized, fruity topping and a soft, fluffy base. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tangy in every bite!
In a pie pan, melt the butter and mix it with brown sugar. Spread evenly at the bottom.
Arrange pineapple slices on top of the butter-sugar mixture.
In a bowl, whisk together yogurt, eggs, vanilla (if using), and honey until smooth.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger), then add the vegetable oil and mix until well combined.
Pour the batter over the pineapple slices, spreading it evenly.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then flip onto a plate and serve!
