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!
