For this technical challenge, the "judge's tip" from Paul Hollywood was "This is a classic. We're testing you on your timings and your consistency, so read your recipes carefully."
When discussing the challenge, Paul Hollywood said "This is a classic bake. Pineapple upside down cake is something I used to have school dinners many moons ago. It's light, buttery, but also you have the perfect caramel. If it goes too dark, it's too bitter, you can't see the caramel, you're not going to be able to get that caramel flavor. And also, the worst thing is ripping the sponge when they're trying to get it out."
Prue Leith added "Getting it out of the tin is where most people come unstuck because the caramel sticks to the edge and it's really difficult."
The presenters summed up with "Paul and Prue are expecting six identical pineapple upside down cakes topped with caramel cream and crowned with a cherry."
