A friend of mine was coming over to our house for a visit with her boyfriend (who happened to be having a birthday). She asked if I might be willing to whip up a pineapple upside down cake for the occasion as her boyfriend was crazy about this variety. Since I didn’t already have this cake on the website, I was happy to take on the challenge. I baked it once and it wasn’t quite perfect enough. I made some minor changes, baked it again, and it was absolutely perfect. In fact, it was so perfect that I’ve made this recipe three times since. It’s GOOD!
The best part is when you flip it over onto a serving plate while it’s still warm. The pineapple transfers and sits on top of the cake with lots of sugary juices. It’s really tough not to dig in right then and there while it’s still warm- which is perfectly okay, by the way!
It’s a bright and sunshiny kind of cake, which is kind of nice this time of year! And the boyfriend mentioned above… he was very pleasantly surprised, and he loved his birthday cake. More upside down cake recipes you might enjoy:
