Pineapple Updside Down Cake

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This turned out a bit too tantalizing, for though I'm not into pineapple, even I had to try some. Smelled Fantastic! Tasted SO GOOD! Def worth the burned flesh I got during the brown sugar melting part. 

Recipe? Its two recipes. One "altered slightly". First Williams Sonoma Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipefrom the fruit cookbook we bought, the methods and everything minus the cake mix, which was Pamela's GF Baking Mix's recipe for Yellow Cake. Basic gist would be yellow cake or vanilla cake mix or recipe. Start by buying sliced pineapple or fresh and slicing. Melt 1/4 cup butter on medium/medhigh heat, add 3/4 cup brown sugar mix and cook till small bubbles form, pour in lightly greased pan, place fruit on top, then cake mix, then cook 350 for 35+ mins. I'd suggest a cake recipe that has 2 or more eggs, or add if using mix. I'd suggest whipping egg whites to stiff peaks and folding in at end before pouring in pan.

Changes? Well, not many. I added about 1/4 ground pineapple (I had slices left) to the cake mix, and instead of milk I used a mix of half n half, heavy cream, and yogurt. That was for moistness, though not needed as the brown goo and fruit from the pan provide plenty, so I'd suggest just following directions. But a pinch or dash of cinnamon in the brown sugar butter mix was a great idea, I'd def recommend doing that, and the mashed pineapple thing. 

Enjoy! (serve warm)

Hubby sure did, he had seconds! :)

Would have had more but he complained about us being out of milk to drink, he loves his milk. We go through a gallon in about 3 days. He prefers milk with sweets, so do I. Kinda cuts the sugar.
