Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

Bessler (New Jersey) says:

This was good. I chose to make this because it did not call for a box cake mix, and made a small pan. I used pineapple in juice (that I had used for something else) and the cherries. I cut 1/4 cup of sugar from the batter and added cherry syrup to make the 1/2 cup syrup. It was sweet enough for us. Thanks CM!

5 stars for my first time making a pineapple upside-down cake. I see you did not ask for pineapple rings in the recipe. Next time I will have butter to use. I'm proud that it came out really well in the cast iron skillet I used. Yippee, and NEXT time I'll use flavorful butter instead of margarine...! It does make a difference. I will share, put in the freezer or use as breakfast coffee cake with yogurt or something. It's not too bad. Yeah, again. Oh, and it was a little spongy, not to many calories in the cake batter, again good based on the topping.

Lois (United States) says:

Similar to how I make it, but I add maraschino cherries to the topping before pouring on the batter. Makes it look more festive and is traditional (and tastes good).

Peter (Virginia) says:

This is my go-to pineapple upside-down cake recipe. I augment it by adding pecan pieces to the brown sugar, or instead of cooking the pineapple chunks in with the brown sugar, I place pineapple slices on the bottom of a pan, then put maraschino cherries in the holes and spaces between, then pour the brown sugar/butter/pecan mixture on top, then finally the batter. So good!

This cake was soooooo good! Hubby can't have any glutamates so I substituted baking powder with cream of tartar and baking soda. Still was so delish!
