I have t-minus 1 hour before my company arrives and I realized that I don't have a frosting for my pineapple upside-down cake! I do not have any brown sugar either. How do I caramelize cane sugar? Google will not pull up any decent answers. I have cane sugar, evaporated milk, strawberry juice, orange juice, and of course, pineapple juice from the can. Any ideas? If not, caramelizing cane sugar should work.

Is the cake done?
If not, most pineapple upside down cake recipes require you brown/caramelize the sugar in butter and add the pineapples.
However, with that said... the sugar should caramelize during the cooking process. Are you using a cast iron skillet? If not, just get the sugar started in butter and let the cooking take it the rest of the way.
from here: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pineapple-Upside-Down-Cake-VI/Detail.aspx
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Melt sugar In a small saucepan on the stovetop, then add butter. Pour this syrup into a 9x13 inch pan, followed by the pineapple juice.
If the cake is done, the just caramelize the sugar completely in butter so you can pour it on top.

three parts pineapple juice, two parts orange juice and one part sugar, put it all in a pan and reduce to a syrupy consistency. either pour it on the cake now, ot wait till its at the table and pour it over while its hot - great talking point, and will taste amazing

place 1/4 cup sugar in heavy saucepan. then heat until sugar starts to melt. don't touch it because it wont caramelize. swirl the pan around so that unmelted sugar melts. when all sugar has melted, you can pour it over your pineapple cake.

Put some in a sauce pan and turn on the heat.
