Ohh I've been baking for as long as I can remember and never once have I come across a pineapple upside down cake that fully satisfied me, but this looks so good! I'll definitely try this!
This turned out amazinggg!! I am 6 months pregnant and have only been able to think about this cake. Weird because I have only had it maybe three times. But glad I came across your recipe. I cannot wait to try some more recipes of yours🤗
I am just baking this for my brother's 35th birthday. Nostalgic as we use to have this when we were kids. I've never found a recipe that works. But you pretty much called out all the usual problems, too sticky moist or hard crust. Fingers crossed this works it's in the oven!!! I am so nervous eek! Love from the UK
I baked this cake today and my family LOVE it! Really soft, moist and delicious! Half way through the baking I realized I didn't have any foil but I will definitely check that I have foil before baking next time. Thank you Sam for this super recipe 😊
Hi Sam, your recipe is ultra easy. I make a Pineapple Upside Down Cake about once a month as it is by far one of my family’s favorite desserts. I have used a 10” cast iron skillet for many years. In fact the skillet used has only ever been used for PUSDC and cornbread (no fat or other acids). I learned by watching my grandmother and my mom over the years as a kid and adult. If you have never tried baking this in cast iron, you should try at least once. I’m certain yours is as outstanding as everything else you bake, but I think it would step up even your experience. As always thank you for all of your time and effort.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! I have tried it in a cast iron pan and it's delicious. I use my cast iron for sooo many things though I worry about the flavors of other foods making their way in, which is why I didn't use it here. :)
I just made this and it is fantastic, I added the two eggs but on your video it looked a lot more liquidy so I guess my eggs were to small so I added a third and it looked just like yours and tasted great
Hi I'm a 13 year old girl and lately I've been wanting to learn how to bake and my mom was telling that if I want to make a dessert every week to try this! I was surprised to see this video in specific be uploaded!
I don't like to freeze my cakes, but sometimes it is necessary with a big event. Can this be made ahead and frozen? I know it is better warm and thinking it could be warmed in the microwave for 30-40 seconds once it is on the platter. Again, I really prefer not to freeze, but sometimes it is necessary. Thanks for your advice.
This cake really does taste best warm and it’s one of a few recipes where I personally don’t enjoy the leftovers. If you must store it, keep it covered in the fridge where it will keep for several days, but it is a moist cake and will become a bit soggier as it sits. Such is life! :)
@@SugarSpunRun Thank you! I wanted to make my mom a birthday cake but due to scheduling I have to make it 2 days before and wasn't sure what to make. Too hot for cheesecake. Might do some kind of lemon cake but I know the fridge can dry a cake out
It will be difficult to cream the butter and sugars together, but not impossible. I won't say it can't be done without an electric mixer, but I would STRONGLY recommend it.
Hmmm the usual culprits for a dense cake are over-mixing or over-baking. If you are sure it wasn't over-mixed did you use the toothpick test to tell when the cake was done baking?
@@SugarSpunRun no I just baked it for the time stated in the recipe, eyed it, and touched it with my hand. If I make it again I’ll check it more often with a toothpick instead!
You don’t want to check too often or you’ll lose a lot of heat in your oven. I would try checking it 2 minutes earlier next time. Your oven may be running a little hot. I hope they are perfect next time! 😊
me and my brother tried to make this for mothers day and we messed up on something because it only cooked on top and it was still batter in the middle :( what did we do wrong?
This is a perfect video. No idle chatter, right down to cooking and a truly a solid PUDC recipe as well.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

I love how you don't have any words at the end other than "mmmmmm". That's quite the endorsement. Adding this to my "to-bake" list.

Pineapple upside down cake is one of my favorites. We also add toasted pecans to the pineapple and cherry topping. 😋
Sounds great!
Ummm my favorite...
P.s. I think this is the most trickiest cake to get right. If it works... Im subscribing ;D
If making this a day or 2 ahead, does it have to be refridgerated?
This cake really does taste best warm and it’s one of a few recipes where I personally don’t enjoy the leftovers. If you must store it, keep it covered in the fridge where it will keep for several days, but it is a moist cake and will become a bit soggier as it sits. Such is life! :)

if im gonna use cake strips, is there a need for a foil tent?
I haven't tried it with cake strips. I would keep an eye on it and if it starts to brown add the foil tent. ☺
Can you mix it with out a electronic mixer?
It will be difficult to cream the butter and sugars together, but not impossible. I won't say it can't be done without an electric mixer, but I would STRONGLY recommend it.
Is it possible to use another fruit for this? Like mango?
I haven't tried it but I don't see why it wouldn't still turn out. :)
pineapple tidbits are better to use than pineapple slices I think
Can i add 2tbsp-3tbsp of pineapple juice in the cake batter?
You can but it won't necessarily add any flavor. :)
Can I use your vanilla recipe for this one? The one who has buttermilk :)
It's actually already pretty close. :)
Well this is awkward... you show up wearing the same outfit as your stand mixer :D
🤣🤣 if only I had a mixer in every color I could always match!
Can this cake be used for a layered cake?
It is a pretty dense, moist cake so I’m not quite sure how it would layer. 🙁
@@SugarSpunRun thank you! I figured 😅
I made this and it turned out dense... any tips? I don’t believe I over mixed...
Hmmm the usual culprits for a dense cake are over-mixing or over-baking. If you are sure it wasn't over-mixed did you use the toothpick test to tell when the cake was done baking?

update: nevermind!! we just cooked it ten minutes more and it turned out great!
Phew! I’m so glad it turned out! 😊
the recipe is great but turned out too sweet for me. might need to reduce sugar.
You can reduce the sugar to taste. This is just my personal preference, but I'm glad you like the recipe. ☺
