Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe

Imagine a cake that's sunshine on a plate. Picture this: a golden crown of caramelized pineapple rings nestled on top, glistening with buttery sweetness. Beneath lies a tender, fluffy vanilla cake, infused with the essence of pineapple. Each bite bursts with a delightful contrast - the juicy, tropical fruit yielding to the soft, comforting cake, all bound together by a rich, caramelized glaze. This isn't your average cake; it's a pineapple upside-down cake, a dessert that's as fun to say as it is to devour.

"Be a pineapple: Stand tall, wear a crown, and be sweet on the inside." - Katherine Gaskin

Food For Thought:

Great pickles!

Do you like pickles? I love pickles and I especially enjoy Famous Dave's SWEET 'N SPICY Pickle Chips. This jar is mild and they make pickles that are more hot.

I used to live close to a Famous Dave's restaurant. I would go there once in a while and enjoy the barbecue. Unfortunately, the Famous Dave's location I went to closed down. They didn't get enough business. It surprised me to hear that because the city it was in is large and they should have had plenty of business. Most people like barbecue, right? It was not the cheapest in price so maybe that had something to do with the closing.

Before the cook-down

With the extra vegetables in the house, I decided to throw together a little fried mix. I didn't follow a recipe. I just chose what I wanted, cut it up, and fried it in the skillet. I visited my mother today for a little and she showed me her garden. She gave me a squash and a bell pepper from her garden.

I cut squash, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeno peppers for this fried dish. I added Tony Chachere's and Slap Ya Mama seasonings. Another seasoning is Old Bay seasoning. It is really great with vegetables. Have you tried any of these seasonings?

My Thoughts On Pineapple Upside Down Cake:

My first memory of this cake is when my grandmother would make it as a birthday cake or bring it to family reunions. This cake is so sweet and delicious. I love the pineapple on top and I like it with maraschino cherries. My grandmother wouldn't always make it with maraschino cherries. She said she made it in a hurry and she didn't have any. I would tell her that is ok and I would happily eat it anyway.
