but pud is a pineapple upside down cake.  except who is to say what is down and up.?  i mean that is gravitationalist.
soooo...

Pineapple I-Respect-its-Directional-Choices Cake.

you will need:

half a fresh pineapple
50g demerara sugar
1 breath cinnamon.  a pant at most.
3 eggs (which together comprise an eggweight.  as in weigh them.  today mine came to 200g)
1 eggweight butter, softened
1 eggweight caster sugar
1 eggweight self raising flour

Line the bottom of a loaf tin with non-stick paper.  sprinkle demararararara sugar over it in a layer.  thinly slice pineapple and arrange on sugar.  breathe cinnamon over it.
beat the butter and sugar together.  what people dont tell you is the aim- you are trying to get the sugar incorporated and let it dissolve in the bttermilk component of the butter- this allows you to trap air.  the point is that all graininess should go, and the mixture become stiff and pale.  in a jug beat the eggs.  incorporate the egg into the  mix a bit at a time.  after each addition beat it until it comes back to stiff and pale.  as you get towards the end it may separate.  if so add a little of the flour to bring it back.  then mix in the rest of the flour.  if you have done this really well you dont even need sr flour to get a light sponge.  honest.  but safety first eh.
test for @soft dropping consistency@
basically this means pick a load up on a spoon and hold it upside down above the bowl.  count seconds.  if it drops on 5 its soft dropping consistency. too long add milk, too short add flour.
spoon a thin layer over the pineapple.  then add another layer of small pineapple pieces.  then top off with the rest of the mixture.  Cook in an oven at 160c for fans, middle of 180c for plain until the middle feels like the edge.
leave for 5 minutes to cool, as it will shrink away from the tin slightly.  put a plate on top, then fip upside down.  lift the tin leaving the cake behind.  remove paper.
respect its choices
