It's a rainy dreary day and we are stuck inside. We, in this case, is myself and my two year old nephew Cole. I enjoy spending my days with him. But we like to get out and play, walk, and explore. We are getting a bit stir crazy.
what we would like to be doing...
What should we do...bake! I scoured my sisters pantry and came up with the ingredients for pineapple upside down cake sans maraschino cherries. I really don't think I've had this cake in years. I remember making it with my mom when I was younger. Cole is intrigued by all things cooking related. He was ready to get started.
First he tells me "Cole do it" as far as finding the right pan. I'm not sure the tea pot is going to help us with this project.
Then we get to work.
He was a bit suprised when he cracked the egg and it splattered on his hand. Wish I had a picture of his face. Suprisingly 95% percent of it went in the bowl.
Cole fell asleep before it finished in the oven. I'm sure he'll be excited to try some tonight. The end product was great. Lost some presentation points without the cherries. It helped clear some of our rainy day blues.
We used the Betty Crocker recipe for Pineapple upside down cake: http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/pineapple-upside-down-cake/a1c9a639-0748-4f2c-89f5-fd33cf138986
