Lee's Legendary Pineapple Upside Down Cake

[@fdaking499]

That’s the best upside down pineapple cake I’ve ever seen. That’ what’s so good about cooking with cast iron. When you know how to use it properly, it brings out the earthiness and beauty of a dish.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

We appreciate the + comment, Foxey. You'd probably enjoy our cornmeal cake too. Joanie OCIC

[@qckalvin]

This recipe is delicious! I made this for a camp dessert contest and took 1st. Thanks for sharing!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Great Job on getting First Place!!!

[@jaygriffin7124]

Well done! What an awesome setting to eat cake!!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Yes it was! Thank you. Joanie OCIC

[@Passin_thru68]

Used this to make my first (and currently, only) pineapple upside down cake. Came out great! Will make it again in the future. I really enjoy your videos!!!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Great job!

[@wiseoleowl5154]

I would suggest adding a cup of chopped walnut to the brown sugar and butter mixture before adding the pineapple slices and cherries. My wife makes hers in a 10” cast iron skillet in the oven.

[@shundakm]

I love the deep caramelized brown sugar, the cake look amazing

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Caramelized sugar really gives it a great taste. Thanks for the FEEDback, LaShunda. OCIC

[@TheASTrader]

Lee's a natural! That was great. Thank you for sharing. And that color with the fresh cherries is beautiful.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

He is a natural, isn't he? Aren't we lucky to have him in our Teardrop group?? :) Joanie OCIC

I had been asked to make a pineapple upside down cake for a family Christmas party. I had made dozens of them in the past and they had been enjoyed by all. I don't know if the oven was having a bad day but it wouldn't get done. I was impatient as I don't do late. I finally pulled out a clean toothpick. I grabbed the cake platter and flipped it over. As the melted butter and brown sugar mixture was running down my arm, I figured out why you are supposed to let it set for a few minutes. As I ran to turn on the cold water for my arm, I was proud that I didn't drop the cake. My wife walked in and said, "Doesn't that hurt?" She would have turned 68 last Christmas.

[@jamiylahseye8526]

that cake looked so delicious, one would never think it was made out in the wild. I am going to try this in my cast iron stove. GOOD GOOD JOB 😄

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Please do, and let us know how it turned out. Joanie OCIC

[@cjb8010]

Jamiylah Seye, well, not that wild, what with the well organized picnic tables and trailers, but a feat no less to be able to make a cake over charcoal briquettes. That was indeed impressive.

[@Em-vs5zj]

That looks Devine!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

It is you would probably like the orange cornmeal upside down cake as well. OCIC

[@jaimepardo2375]

[@katiecahill-mallory1078]

Perfect

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Glad you liked it!

[@bbqfisherman69]

Looks delicious. Most cake mixes call for eggs, is this not really necessary? I'm new to cast iron and cooking outside, so just curious and learning. I want to try this. Thanks.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

This particular recipe does not require eggs. OCIC

[@mattwallace8720]

Nice job!

[@adamnewhall6416]

What's the brand of oven you're using here? I love the legs on your lid- want one of those!

[@outdoorcastironcook]

It's a 12 inch Camp Oven, National Park series by Camp Chef Joanie OCIC

[@philipjennings7062]

question... could you cook the cake in the lid... then just use a plate to turn it over?

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Only if you had an extremely high/big lip on the lid as the batter would probably seep over the edges. Just saying,Phillip, as it is cake batter and most lids are pretty low on the sides. Joanie OCIC

[@beaverrick9789]

That was great! Thanks

[@outdoorcastironcook]

You are welcome OCIC

[@reninalewis1729]

Can you catch some more Dungeness crabs and make a video for us steaming them, they look so good

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Season did not open here until May....boat got docked and now it is time to fish. Might not be able to do D. Crab this season, but will see what the captain says OCIC

[@lilbuddhaman201]

[@outdoorcastironcook]

I'm a little out of touch, but where is the 'Frog Crawler'?

[@outdoorcastironcook]

Fogcrawler is still here .... doing webisodes, editing, etc. At this IRG event, I was incredibly busy with the organization and running of the event and did a dutch oven demo with my wife as well. Dean

[@chewie2055]

taradead But you don’t mind him using a cake mix....🙄

[@quintarawilliams498]

[@BobBob-sm5wg]

Man hahha

[@olivemahabeer3473]

o loop loop I I no nono hi 8th and your

[@robcardena6786]

This guy uses all imitation ingredients? Not Legendary?? Your kidding. Box cake mix? If your going to use parchment paper you might as well used something else to cook in like a pot. I mean the whole idea of cast iron cooking is to use the seasoned cast iron oven. The result of crustyness the cast iron delivers and real ingredients like flower etc. The man used lemonade because he didn't have enough pineapple juice?? I mean a cake is a cake and it was probably very delicious. But my point being this is not real cast iron cooking by no means. Sorry NO disrespect just my personal opinion.

[@outdoorcastironcook]

And you are entitled to your personal opinion and methods/thoughts of cast iron cooking. We enjoy Lee's recipe and know others who do as well, especially those just starting out. Joanie OCIC

[@ApartmentKing66]

To Rob Cardena, the Galloping Gourmet: you might have a bit more credibility if you knew how to spell such words as *flour*.

[@chewie2055]

You lost me at cake mix
