Pineapple Upside Down Cake was invented during the 20′s. This was the time when canned pineapples were introducd by Dole. There were different pineapple recipes presented during that time — Pineapple Upside Down Cake seems to be a favorite as evidenced by several years of existence.
Unlike other cakes, Pineapple Uside Down Cake is intended to be served warm. There is something about its taste that makes it better when served warm like the the taste of caramelized sugar in taho — tasty and appetizing.
This cake is the best dessert that I had for this week. I like it because it is so flavorfull and yummy. I cannot put into words the magnificent pleasure that I experienced when I was eating this cake.
