I've never made or even eaten pineapple upside down cake before, so I have no basis of comparison, but this was very, very good. The cake was light, springy (not too dense or too sweet) and the fresh pineapple made for great flavor, color, and texture that wasn't drowned out by heavy syrup or excess sugar. I cut the pineapple for the top very evenly just like the picture, and my cake turned out very pretty.

you can use canned pineapple , add some walnuts between pineapple slices , sprinkle cinnamon between the pineapple layer and the cake batter ,,, sooooooo delicious ... you can use canned pineapple , add some walnuts between pineapple slices , sprinckle cinnamon between the pineapple layer and the cake batter ,,, sooooooo deliciouse ...

How do you store? Fridge?

Oooooh...Suly, that sounds GOOOOOOD! :) I'll definitely give it a try. I didn't think the cake looks THAT bad. I mean, you can arrange/cut the pineapple however you want, really. This recipe and picture just give a different way of doing it. If you think about it, I'll bet it's easier to cut and eat when the fruit is cut that way.

in response to motherguth, the nutritional information can be found in the back of the food issue that the recipe appears in (near the index), this recipe specifically calls on 316 calories per serving (of 8) as I recall, but this cake can easily serve 12 good portions so even less!

You can even boost flour to 3/4 c. white, 3/4 c. wheat and improve nutritional value. Also I sub out the butter milk with 2c. vanilla activa yogurt and it keeps the cake super moist. If you are using canned pineapple, use the uncut circles for a more refined look. I cut them into quarters and make a fanned arrangement with a full circle in the center. Lastly I cook it in an 8x8 pan instead of a 9x9 for a deeper cake. It doesn't dry out as much that way with the altered flour ratio!

I must agree w/ Mistica, the cake -not attractive. I used a large can of chunks I needed to use up

Wow! This was absolutely delicious. Hard to believe it's a light recipe. The fresh pineapple was fantastic on this cake.

People !!! It's just about eating less calories than we used to ! Without loosing the flavor !!! Try banana insted of pineapple ...Delicious !
