Double Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I think I missed something. Why is "Double" in the recipe title?

I really don't want to turn the cake over on a huge serving platter or a baking sheet. UGLY. So I have split the cake into two round pans. This way it is easier for storing, carting somewhere or even handling.

I just made this and it came out beautiful! I wish I had one more can up pinapple though, 8 slices was not enough but it does not look incomplete. I like things crammed :) It was done in 45 minute I think 50 minutes it would have been a bit overdone.

I am concerned since I substituted pineapple juice instead of the water and read afterwards not to! Well, it's in the oven as we speak. What is the concern? I know not to add it to Jello, but if you have the answer - tell me! TY

PLEASE put the older DH recipe for this on the BOX...

Hmm, 110 comments so far and roughly 100 are complaints about removing the recipe from the box. Are you listening to your customers DH? Having the recipe boosts sales.

Tried this recipe today because when I went to make it, realized as the rest of you, that there was no recipe for it and came here. I followed it almost exactly, but again, like many of you, part of the water I replaced with the pineapple juice. And baked it at exactly 32 minutes. Came out great!

As a first-time baker, i made a cardinal mistake. I baked the cake just using the recipe on the box without coming to the website first. When I was ready to what I thought was just to frost the cake with a pineapple mixed frosting, i then decided to visit Food network, and then this site to findout that I was supposed to put the fruit mixture on the bottom of the pan before baking. HELP!!!!!

Is there a reason why we should not use the juice from can of pineapple, I always do and it comes out perfectly every time. I love this recipe, but have to look it up when Iwant tomake one. By the way, will be making oone at the end of the month. Delicious

Please put this on the box! I do not cook and this was to be made for my husbands birthday. He said, well if it doesn't say it on the box they must have included it. Nope. Just Pineapple Supreme cake mix ONLY. Bummer. Now I have to go back to the store.

What if I don't have a muffin tin?

My 87 yr old mother in law, who barely scrapes by, had to call me long distance so I could look up the directions for this recipe for her. Put them back on the box. Not everyone has a computer and many people (including my whole family) love this recipe. Don't disappoint your fans like this.

Hey, Duncan Hines, How about adding the upside down cake directions before the altitude corrections?!

Come on, folks. It is not that hard to read through the Spanish - you just ignore it!

Oh - I just realized that I didn't use the Pineapple cake mix, I used regular Duncan Hines Yellow Cake mix. Hmmmm, maybe that's why the recipe says not to use the pineapple juice. If you use the Pineapple Cake mix it's, like, too much pineapple??

OK - I made the cake and it is excellent! Very yummy!! Very easy to make. And I did use the pineapple juice for the water. It turned out fine. Maybe next time I'll try it with water and see if there's a difference.

Oh good god! it takes seconds to find a recipe on the internet!! Not one of you is saying anything about this freakin' recipe!! I want to make it.....is this the original recipe that was on the box?? Is it a good recipe?? This is supposed to be a forum about recipes, not a place to complain about change and the internet taking over!

Hi all!

Now I dont know which to bake the double pineapple upside down cake or the reg upside down cake. :( Anyone want to comment on which is best? Thanks!

I bake proffesionally. I only ever used Duncan Hines as I was taught in class to do over 30 years ago. I usually only bake an upside down pineapple cake when I serve ham, so 2-3 times a year. I was very disappointed in having to get on the computer to get the recipe. Duncan Hines needs to remember two things.....not everyone has access to the computer, and if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Duncan Hines removed the recipes along time ago - I miss them but the truth is I've learned to look for cake mix variations before I go to the store, it wasn't easy but I'm pretty smart so I could be retrained. The upside is that I have a great source for new favorites and at work I'm the got to for cakes, all thanks to Duncan Hines... Twenty cakes at work a year and never a duplicate and always a happy birthday person! Of course over the last year or so I've also learned to keep cake making basics in my microscopic pantry. Cherry, pineapple, brown sugar, vanilla, instant pudding, cherry pie filling - yeah. I keep it on hand at all times. Remember, change is good for the brain cells. LOL

I was also disappointed about not having the recipe on the box. The picture on the front of the box should be what is in the box and not a variation. Hopefully Duncan Hines will consider the comments. I also am not a fan of having to wade through a language other than English. Maybe the foreign translations could be posted on the website and not on the box. No disrespect intended to other nationalities but let's reserve the packaging to English.

This looks so pretty!!!!

After reading some of these comments I just wanted to say...I was a bit disappointed that the recipe was not on the box. LOL, my first thought was the same as I have been below. Why a second language? This is America and our primary speech is English. I work, I provide for my family and I want to enjoy the simple things in life, like the standard recipe for a Pineapple Upside Down Cake on a Pineapple Cake Mix!! Hello??

The "genius" who took the recipe off the box probably got a promotion because the result is that tons of traffic is driven to the website. My iPad was sitting on the table and was on so it was easy for me to get the recipe BUT it still ticked me off and made me feel manipulated. The photo implies that the recipe is included. I didn't expect it to be a kit, but I did expect the recipe to bend on the box. I think that the lack of it engenders a lot of I'll will especially since it has been on the box for ever.

The "genius" that took the recipe off the box has made every one of us get online and go to the Duncan Hines website to look it up! Not to mention getting us to provide our name, email, etc. so that we can create an account and add our comments. This makes me want to buy another brand just for the principal of the matter! Just for the record, it would only take up a few lines of space on the box to note a few tips, like that we need 1 stick of butter + 1 cup of brown sugar; and need to bake it for 50 minutes. Having at least that on the box would be great, Mr. Hines.

I too found it annoying to have to stop in the middle of making the cake to come and verify how much sugar, how long to cook, etc. I have been making this recipe off the box for years and love it. I just made it for a birthday party and it is worthy.

BUT - I have always used the pineapple juice as part of the water requirement. I wonder why they say not to. Everyone loves my version.

Bought a box yesterday and was surprised to see the upside down cake recipe missing. Had to come to the website to refresh my memory:) Love the pineapple supreme mix.

I'm another customer who wants the recipe on the box. The first time I bought the cake mix, I thought there would be pineapple and brown sugar in it too. Had to make a trip back to the store. Lately I've been using the yellow cake mix. Also tried the DH yellow pound cake recipe. Yum!

OMG I just made this today. It is heaven!!! Haven't made it in a few years. Hope my family enjoys as much as I wiill!!!

This cake is amazing, brought it to work and it was gone by lunch. :)

Whats make a cake rise in the middle? "Watched the temperature to make sure 350 was maintained"...

So, when you see a picture of a completed cake on the box you think it comes complete with the frosting? Umm....

I have to say, I bought this cake mix several weeks ago anticipating the recipe & all ingredients to be included. My mistake on expecting the addition of the ingredients. The box really wasn't heavy enough. However, when you see the picture on the front of the box, there has always been that recipe on the box for that item. I did not see the need for a second language of instructions for the basic cake mix, there was also plenty of room on the side of the box. Or, rather than advertise for another recipe, use that space for the recipe that's pictured on the front of the box!
You'll make a lot more customers happier. I'm going out to the rest of the items to actually make the Upside Down cake this week. Being disabled I don't get out shopping that often. I'll write back after I've had the cake.

When I saw the picture on the box, I was in a hurry and thought there would be a can of pineapple slices and brown sugar. When I got home and went to bake the cake, I saw it was only the cake mix. Ok, not the end of the world, but then there was no recipe? That's how I actually got to this website, so I could find it. The cake was delicious but I suggest putting the recipe on the box.

seriously...why put a photo of pineapple upside down cake on the box, but NOT include the recipe somewhere on the box??

It may be because I've made Pineapple Upside Down cakes before and only needed the recipe because I forgot how much butter to use, but I think these negative reviews are unfair. No where on the box does it say it's a Pineapple Upside Down Kit. It says it's a pineapple supreme cake mix. There is a difference my friends. Actually, my husband purchased this package, I would have bought the Yellow Cake Mix and added the pineapple juice in place of the water. But, even he, knew enough to buy the pineapple and the cherries.

This is delicious. I made my first one ever. The only modification I did was used the pineapple juice from the rings and used that in place of the water.

What genius decided to eliminate the recipe from the box?!?! That person should be FIRED! After searching...handing the box to my husband for him to look...I decided to go online. We run an online business but not everybody has a computer (or perhaps if they do, it wouldn't be turned on when they go to make the cake). I knew to buy cherries, pineapple, brown sugar...but what about people who don't bake very often or who have never made this? They will look at the picture on the box and think everything is included (since there's no recipe on the box). I only make this a couple of times a year but next time I think I'll look for a different brand. (BTW, I created an account here just so I could leave my comments. I'm just *that* ticked off right now.)

What makes this a "DOUBLE" Upside down cake?...can I stack two 8x8 squares

Excellent recipe! Quick and tasty! My 6 year old daughter has severe food allergies and this was a great hit! It's hard to find non-chocolate treats that are dairy free...this one is a keeper!!

I LIKE USING ALL CAPS BECAUSE I'M NEARSIGHTED! for everyone else, and dh discussion monitor, i, myself have an adversion to cherries, so i use diamond brand glazed pecan halves in the center of the pineapple rings instead - very yummy!

I agree putting these simple directions on one side of the box would be helpful. When you're in a rush to make a cake it's a pain to go look up the exact recipe. At least with a cake like this you know all the ingredients you need while your still at the store.

I bought this cake mix because of the picture on the box. Was disappointed that the recipe was not on the box. I searched other baking mixes for recipe. If one would have been available I would have bought it instead. I think if you would put the recipe on the box people would buy this brand of cake mix alot more.

Does anyone have the recipe that was on the box? I can't find it anywhere! I wouldn't have bought 2 boxes. Thanks in advance

I cannot imgine why you removed this recipe from the box! I used it so often and now had to look it up to find the recipe! Everyone loves this recipe. I have told many people about it and now it isn't on the box. Please put it back on the box!

Why would you remove the recipe from the box? You didn't even replace it with anything useful. I relied on that recipe being on the box, which was one of the main reasons I began purchasing this mix in the first place. The cake is great, but not everyone has access to this website.

I am so upset over the removal of the recipe from the box. I looked everywhere to find a complete box mix, finally gave up purchased DH then had to go home and look up recipe to get needed ingrediance, then had to go back to store. What a WASTE OF TIME! The cake is great but, upset over the recipe!

put the recipe on the box!!!! perhaps with items needed highlighted for those who might not conceive that the pineapple slices are not in the box. otherwise-- excellent, great, a FAVORITE!!!

has anyone ever doubled this recipie? I would like to use a pan larger than a 9x13?

I got all the way home and realized that the cake does not have the proper ingredients for the pineapple upside down cake. Very disappointed that it was not clear on box. This cake mix was just a cake mix. Then read I have to come on here. Hmmmm Lucky I had a can of pineapple in the pantry. Otherwise yum!

I'm with everyone else. I'm trying to bake a cake real quick to take to church with me today and everything has to stop because the recipe is no longer on the box? Do you know how many people rely on it being there? I've bought different cake mixes in the past based only on the recipes I saw on the boxes. You will lose out on sales! If I have to look elsewhere for recipes I might as well make one from scratch.

Like several others here I was disappointed when I picked up this box of cake mix at the store and couldn't find the recipe for the pineapple upside down cake on it. Please put the recipe back.

I'm right there with you about missing the recipe on the box! And then even further upset when I realized the space for the recipe was probably needed to give the instructions in Spanish! This is America, all we need are instructions in English!!! That said, I LOVE this cake! I make it with the pineapple JUICE from the can (not the syrup), and top it off with water. I used a glass 9x12 pan and baked it at 325 degrees for 50 minutes. Got rave reviews at the potluck! People commented the dominant pineapple taste and how moist the cake was.

so confusing...use the juice DON'T use the juice in the cake mix. and everyone is right I had to open my box at grocery store to see what else I needed. silly just the cake mix, nothing else, why call it pineapple cake? just call it generic cake. 35min.-50 min. come on commit and get this right.

Fantastic cake, I had adults and kids, coming up and asking me to make it again.

I agree with the rest...PLEASE PUT THE PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE RECIPE BACK ON THE BOX! (I rate the cake itself a 5 but not having the recipe on the box a 1)

Love this....it used to be printed on the cake box - so I panicked it when wasn't there. I use the leftover pineapple juice with the water (less water needed) SOO GOOD!!

this is the best pineapple upside down cake ever! follow the baking times on the box, not the 50 minutes stated on the recipe. i made mine in a 13" by 9" and was ready in 35 minutes. this is so good, a friend of ours who is a professional baker wants the recipe. i am more than happy to share it. it would be nice if this was printed on the cake box. also, i'm glad i had all the ingredients on hand as i thought the topping was included in the box. should make that clearer. will be making this on a regular basis.

I love your Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe - however, what a disappointment to find that the recipe/ ingredients were not on the box!! One of the little joys (& there are FEW joys here) of grocery shopping is looking on the back of the cake mix boxes & finding an interesting recipe to make and surpise my family with. I can have a new recipe, buy the ingredients & know the work involved all while grocery shopping! It's a huge inconvenience to have to look up the recipe online at home then go back to the grocery store. Looks like you have many complaints about this same topic - please put the recipes back on the boxes! Thank you!

Does anyone know if you can freeze the pineapple upside down cake? This recipe is delicious but we can only have small portions because of special diets. Thanks.

I'm with everyone else on here, no instructions, no shopping list, and had to join here to leave a note here... anyhow, one note. This recipe states to bake for 50 mins but the box states 32-35. I checked after 35 and my cake was done so be sure you check it often.

I make a double layer pineapple upside down cake. I used the same ingredients except I used crushed pineapple. First I open and drain two cans of crushed pineapple. I split the melted butter and brown sugar in two 9" round pans and stir until mixed well. Next I place the cherry halves on top of the sugar and butter in each pan arranged a little spaced, working from outside to inside of pans circle pattern with pan. It's like 12-14 cherries around the outer. Then I cover both with the crushed pineapples. After the pineapple is placed I split the cake mix and pour each half on top of the pineapples. After its baked I let cool then carefully flip one and then flip the other on top of it.

It is very inconvenient to have to look up the recipe online. Next time I want to make a pineapple upside down cake, I will be buying a Betty Crocker mix. Along with all the other customers, I am very disappointed with this decision to stop printing this recipe on the box.

Ok, I cant take it anymore...when you buy a cake and it is the size and weight of a NORMAL cake box....you have to know it dosent include a heavy can of pineapple or a cup of brown sugar! OMG, pineapple is the FLAVOR of the cake. If you buy a lemon cake do you expect it to have lemon frosting in the box? No, you know you have to buy it sepeately. Im not trying to be mean, but seriously. With that said, I was disapointed that the recipe was missing from the box. I had to google it to find it. You can use a regular yellow cake mix and flavor it with the pineapple juice...or you can use the juice and the pineapple FLAVORED cake mix and make it even more yummy!!! I adore this cake and its always a hit. Again, Im not trying to be mean...just trying to make a point :c)

Got up this morning to make my hubby the Pineapple Upside Down cake I thought I bought the mix for. WRONG. No pineapple and no recipe. I thought the mix used to be for a round or square cake and only one layer. Not the big one it is now. Very disappointed.

AGREED............ I was thinking the pineapple was included in the box! Very disappointed when it wasn't. Thank goodness for the internet and googling!! Duncan Hines, you can do better!

I agree with the other posts. I had no idea what was in the box and then had to look up the recipe. I think the company can do better. Shame on you.

I agree with the others, put the recipe back on the box!!!

I was surprised when I got home and discovered the recipe for the pineapple upside down cake depicted on the box was no longer on the reverse side of the box. This was always a favorite at my house and Duncan Hines does make the best pineapple cake mix as I have tried others. Had to strain the brain to see if I could remember what it used to say so I hope it was right.
Please put the recipe back on the box.

I wanted to bake the cake that was on the box for a barbeque tomorrow. I didn't trust the box, kept reading for recipe, ingredients. I picked up the pineapple and cherries I GUESSED I needed that, but I don't have any brown sugar and it is too late to go buy some. The cake the box makes should be showcased on the box and if you showcase a different cake, requiring additional ingridients SAY SO. Ttell me what else I need to duplicate the cake you are advertising to entice me to buy your box, so I can make this delicious looking cake. Disappointed

no rating, since just looked up the recipe.

Add me to the list of disappointment baker's regarding lack of recipe on the box. It's sad enough that you market it as pineapple cake without including the ingredients, but terrible to find no recipe on the box. I knew it was brown sugar and butter, but the amounts eluded my memory. My 4-year-old grandson used this mix to make his mommy a peach upside down cake. He had the patience of a saint when I had to come to this site to look up the recipe. You can do better, Duncan Hines!

I really don't care if it is not a complete kit. I wanted to have the recipe on the box. The one that I made years back did. I was aggervated that it was not on there this time because I needed to know what to get. All I remember was pineapple and cherries.

I thought I was purchasing a complete "kit" which included thecan of pineapple based on the picture on the box cover...then was further disappointed that the box did not include the recipe. Having to join the Bakers Club in order to comment was also a pain but worth it to say how frustrated this whole process has been!

I agree completely with the other comments! When you are at the store and decide to pick up a cake mix, you do not want to have to go home and get online to figure out what other ingredients you need to buy! Come on, Duncan Hines, you have been around way too long to make such a blunder!!

Same here. Pain in the a... to have to logon to get a recipe that I normally get straight from the box. PLEASE put the recipe back on the box!!

I only use DH mixes and I'm really disappointed that the recipes are no longer on the boxes. I looked forward to them as I don't get to bake often, but when I do I like having a handy recipe. C'mon guys.........put the recipes back!
Thx

I was also, disappointed when there was no recipe on the box. Next time Iwill just make the one in Betty Crocker!

I Made the Pineapple Cake and it was so good! And yes I too was disappointed when I couldn't find the recipe on the back of the box. Thank goodness I had internet! Next time I'm gonna add my walnuts...left them out so one of my friends could enjoy the cake.

I agree with the previous posters. I buy Duncan Hines mixes for the recipes on the box. No recipe, no need to buy the brand. If I have to look up the recipe, I might as well use whatever mix is on sale. If time was not of the essence, I would just make it from scratch.

I was going to make my husband a Pinapple Upside Down cake for Father's Day. I was very aggravated when there was no recipe on the back of the box and I had to waste my time to get on the internet. Not everyone has internet in the world. This just might keep me from buying Duncan Hines again!

I will be making the Pineapple Upsidedown Cake for Father's Day. After reading some of ya'll comments I didn't realize I could add nuts to this Delicious recipe. Thank u so much for the info.

My son's favorite, one of mine, too. I use a yellow cake mix, prefer the plain ones. I've made it so many times I don't bother to measure the bottom part, usually 9X10 glass baking dish. The ones with the round pineapple slices and maraschino cherries are the prettiest, but my son likes it with crushed pineapple (large can, drained, use juice for part of the water). I like real whipped cream you whip yourself, but the family likes it either way. Always use real butter for taste. Be very careful turning it over as you can get burned with the hot syrup and has to be done right out of the oven. Get the best grip with pot holders you can, and flip it away from you and not toward. juliescafe, I don't make cupcakes too often but suggest you don't use the papers,, maybe grease the sides or spray with flour added cooking spray. Then try it again maybe? Sometimes a bit sticks so I patch it while hot, but it might help to run a knife around the sides; some of these things you have to do what works best for you. Yes, drain the pineapple well. I wouldn't do minis; rather I have some oversize cupcake pans and regular size, think I'd use my oversized ones and not fill them too full. That picture on the left and box I'd say is a perfect one.

I just made pineapple upside down cupcakes, and they turned out pretty well! the problems were they did not have the carmelly (sp) type topping . i used butter and brown sugar in the cupcake pan and then crushed pineapple with the cherry any ideas on how to get the buttery brown sugary goodness to come out on the cake. wondering if I needed to drain the pineapple more? would love any hints and do you think mini cupcakes would work?

Hi, Has anyone split this between 2 9" round cake pans? Did it turn out OK and how long did you bake it? Thanks in advance for your help. Happy Baking!

I just made this recipe and it was great. But i was sooo mad that it was not on the box. I had to use the internet on my phone to get it and I hate doing that the screen is so small. PLEASE PUT IT BACK ON THE BOX!!!!

Yes... Please please please put the recipe back on the box. This recipe is a keeper.

I have to chime in about the deletion of the recipe on the box. I just made the cake last week with a mix I had on hand. I bought a new one to make for my friends birthday. I couldn't remember if it was one cup or 1/2 cup brown sugar. PLEASE put it back on the box. I have made this cake many times and think it's great. I don't bake it 50 minutes. I start checking around 45 minutes. Delicious every time.

I made this for the first time on Sunday for Mother's Day...it was DELICIOUS! So easy to make and moist! Like a previous poster, I substituted the pineapple juice in the can for the water that it calls for in the cake mix. I will definitely be making this again!

This is a great cake. But what happened to recipe on the box. Miss it. Had to go to web page to get recipe. Please put recipe back on box pineapple supreme.

I made this recipe for the first time yesterday, fantastic! I will definitely be baking this one again!

For pineapple upside down cake - substitute the juice in the can of pineapple (natural juice only, not sweetened) for the water called for on the box instructions. The cake will be more pineappley and extra delicious!

I made this according to directions the first time but truthfully no one wants a two layer pineapple upside down cake. So this time I cut the mix in half. I measured it out and the whole mix is 4 cups. I used 2 cups mix with 1/4 cup (half a stick) of butter, 2 eggs and 1/2 a cup of water. For the topping I used 1/4 cup butter(1/2 stick) and 3/4 cup of sugar. I melted the butter in a rod iron 9 inch skillet and then sprinkled the sugar on top. Then I put the pineapple( I used the kind in heavy syrup) and the maraschino cherries in the bottom of the pan and covered the fruit with the batter. I baked it for 35 minutes at 350. It was wonderful. I am very happy that I figured out a way to make this with half a mix. I am going to try this with different kinds of fruit. I really like the taste of this mix.

It has been awhile since I have made a Pineapple Upside-down Cake, I thought the cake mix also came with the little can of pineapple and packet of brownsugar mix. What happen? Did I buy the wrong cake mix or wrong brand of cake mix? Now I have to figure out something else to make. GREAT!

i'm joining the ranks of reviewers that are really upset that this recipe wasn't kept on the box. I was on a tight time schedule baking for my Easter Dinner (this is the kind of cake that has to be done close to serving) and I pulled out the cake box, and lo! - no recipe!! Where'd it go??? Luckily, I saw the small print of web address on box - had to take the time to go online to this site, which was a pain. Duncan Hines, PUT IT BACK!!!!! We love your cake, and want the recipe when we need it!!

Note to self lol :next time I buy a wedding cake round spring form pans only man leaking butter and brown sugar in my oven

Does anyone know what I could use to substitute the eggs in the cake mixes????? My grandson has an allergy to eggs...

I love this recipe, i always eat it fresh out of the oven, so good when it's warm!!! the only thing that upset me was they took the recipe off the box and replaced it with spanish instructions, hello we are in america!!! please put the recipe back on the box!!!

Why does the recipe for the pineapple upside down cake , say "do not use pineapple juice" instead of water? I always have,. I s there something I should know?

Why did they remove recipe from box ? SILLY !

I am also very unhappy about them taking the recipe off the cake mix. Have made this several times & everyone loves it. I started using chunk pineapple instead because it makes it so much easier to cut & eat, but still looks great!

Giving this a try today...but was very disappointed that they didn't have this recipe on the box of the cake...when it is showing on the front of the box. I always use applesauce for any of the butter or oil in mixes...so wish me luck....trying to keep some of the calories out of it.

We always used a different mix that provided a small can of crushed pineapple, and my husband brought this one home by mistake. He (and I) assumed that it would contain the pineapple. It doesn't, and we can't figure out why the mix would be called "Pineapple Upside Down" cake when there is neither pineapple inside nor instructions for how to make a pineapple upside down cake on the box!

If I can't find the Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix can I substitue just a Duncan Hines Golden Cake Mix? to make this recipe.

I used this recipe but at the last moment found out that I did not have any cherries..... so I used fresh strawberries instead...the family loved it....

When I was a child,my Mother always baked ours in a iron skillet and it came out just fine and tasted wonderful.Keep it up Duncan Hines!

I have been using this recipe for years and it always turns out great. Have to use a 13x9 in pan and pineapple slices because everyone wants a full 'ring' squared slice. We never have leftovers of this cake!

My 85 yr old father LOVES this cake - his mother used to make a similar one when he was a boy. To make it just like my grandmother, I add walnut pieces arouund the pineapple rings and cherries. It adds a delightful nutty flavor to the cake.

just made my first one tonight and the family loved it!!!!!!!!!! and the girlfriend loves me doing the cooking lol

I have been making this cake for 40 years. I learned from my Mom when I was a child. My grandaughter will be 21 in January. She has requested Pineapple upside cake for her 21st birthday....

Yummmmm
floppy1

This cake was YUMMMM. I changed the recipe a little. I used fresh pineapple in chunks and dried tart cherries. The cherries reconstituted during baking and were plump. I reduced the brown sugar to 1/2 cup. I also baked it in a 10 X 10 baking dish for 40 minutes making it higher. It is a hubby pleaser.

My sister makes this cake, and has been for years and I just found out that she used this recipe. It is really good. Like my sister let people think that it is home made they wont know the differnce.

The only thing my father-in-law requested for Christmas (in lieu of any other gift) was for me to make him a Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, because his mother used to make them for him when he was a child. When I asked him if he wanted me to wait until Christmas Day, he told me, "No, I want it today!" LOL! So I made him one using this recipe. It was awesome! I would like to add that we like lots of "topping" so I increased the brown sugar to 2 cups, but did not increase the butter because I didn't want it too greasy. That might be too sweet for other people, but it was perfect for us! It was a big hit and he considered it one of the best Christmas gifts he has ever received!

Makes a beautiful, moist cake with little effort. I have made it in a bundt pan and in two smaller pans... For fun, use a 8 x 8 pan and a 9" round pan - place the pineapple slices in a tic tac toe like pattern on both cakes - results in a fun X & O cake!

This is my all time favorite cake. It always turns out good and tastes wonderful. I sometimes use crush pineapple it gives it a candied taste. I love whipped cream on top. These are great cake mixes.

I made this cake for my husbands Staff and it was a hit that people were actually fighting to get seconds, i should have made Two!
