Pineapple Upside Down Cake

pineapple-upside-down-cake

I went over to a friends house when I was little.  Her grandma had made us cake.  Pineapple upside down cake.  Now mind you, here’s this teeny tiny lady that comes bearing a sugar encrusted cake studded with beautiful red Cherries.  STOP!  That’s where the eye candy ended and the dryness began.

I think it’s a conspiracy with the old folks.  Between the rock fruit cake and the bedazzled christmas sweaters.  Really, truly, I kid.

So, perhaps it was then that I swore that it would be my personal goal to create a moist and buttery version of this truly loved old timey cake.

    I have made pineapple updise down cakes in the cupcake pans simple cause it is easier than a full cake! Everyone gets a piece of pineapple and a cherry and basically their own little cake. Works really well!
