Ok, Gabby I know you didn't make that....Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

Pineapple Upside down cake, when I think of this cake it makes me think of a Housewife , a Step-ford Wife...the early 1900's . Obviously a image far from what I really am, a "cool" young single Mom (although my boys don't think so sometimes, pffttt ) Ok, but really I was watching one of this seasons last episodes of Desperate Housewives, and in this episode Brea makes a AMAZING Pineapple Upside Down Cake that Gabby tries to duplicate after telling Carlos she really made it, pretty funny. 
-See even Carlos wasn't fooled, he knew Gabby didn't make that amazing cake. 


Ok well back to me and this cake. I finally did it, I couldn't remember the last time I made a Pineapple Upside Down Cake....  My mom makes them every once a year, maybe? But we took out her recipes that she has, a lot of these recipes she used when she was just married -over 34 years ago. LONG time, much credit to my Dad, my Momma's crazy.... lol (shh don't tell her I said that) heehee 


None the Less... Here is what mine came out looking like tonight. It was very Good !


 Here's the Recipe



1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 c butter (unsalted)2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup milk

Mix all together for about 2-3 minutes until well combined. 

Topping : 1/2 c brown sugar, and 1/4 c butter - cook in a saucepan, until it melts and slightly boils... immediately pour into a round cake pan (I used a 9inch) that has been lined with parchment paper and sprayed with baking non-stick spray. Line the bottom of the pan with pineapple rings adding Maraschino cherry halves in each pineapple center. Pour your cake mix over the pineapples and cherries. Bake 35-40 minutes at 350°F. Let cool in pan 10minutes then turn upside down into a plate. Enjoy :)
