Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Pineapple Upside Down Cake was invented during the 20’s. This was the time when canned pineapples were introduced 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.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

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 flavorful and yummy. I cannot put into words the magnificent pleasure that I experienced when I was eating this cake.

On another note, this recipe makes use of shortening. I realized that not everyone is familiar with this ingredient, so I composed a post to describe it. Click here to read more about shortening.

    I made it yesterday and it was so good. I switched a 1/3 cup of milk w/ a third cup of pineapple syrup to bump up the flavor of the cake. Thanks!
