Critical Success Points

  • Caramel must reach a deep amber colour without burning.
  • Caramel must be fully cooled before adding pineapple and batter.
  • Eggs must be fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Do not over‑mix after adding flour.
  • Oven must be preheated to 170 °C before baking.
  • Cake is done when a knife comes out clean.
  • Invert the cake while still warm to prevent the caramel from hardening onto the pan.

Safety Warnings

  • Caramel is extremely hot; handle with care and use oven mitts.
  • The cake and pan will be hot after baking; allow brief cooling before inverting.
  • Do not leave the caramel unattended as it can burn quickly.
