I like the larger cake using a 12-inch skillet. This cake is exactly how my grandmother made it clear back in the 1940's which my dad loved as a child so I requested her recipe. She too used the rich pound cake recipe using the pineapple juice to flavor. The only difference is she separated the eggs and beat the egg whites until they were fluffy with stiff peaks and would fold them into the finished batter in which the egg yolks had already been added.

[@janepowers6711]

Wow, i really like the idea of adding the whipped eye whites!

[@Progressisbeautiful]

I made this last night! Husband said it tasted like I've been baking like that for years, and that is so far from the truth you would have to know me to understand. If I could figure out how to post a picture here I would. Thanks for the awesome video, I followed your instructions step by step, pausing and playing and felt so confident because it looked just like yours the whole way through. I'll be back for more yummy new adventures with you.

[@oro5z]

First of all, your videography is impeccable, and your directions are amazingly easy to follow. Thanks!

I truly tried many recipes this is the most moist and delicious recipe. I will continue to keep make this cake because my whole family also loves this cake.

[@nayelliyanezmejia5725]

I love this recipe! My boyfriend loves pineapple upside down cake and I’ll be making this recipe for the 3rd year for his birthday. He loves it every time! Very easy to follow 👍🏽

[@juanaibot8651]

Tried this recipe twice and it’s always perfect! My family loved it!

[@patriciasmart1329]

Thank you for this recipe I just made this cake it came out perfect, light, and fluffy. Today is Friday August 26, 2016 May God continue to bless your hands

[@charmainejacobsen158]

today's my daughter's boyfriends birthday , I just put mine in the oven . This is my 1st time ever making a pineapple upside down cake. I sure hope it turns out light & fluffy . This is his favorite cake so I'll let y'all know later hiw it turns out , cuz yours certaimly looks perfect

[@NH-bq9zl]

I tried this recipe last night and it turns out great, my husband loves it. It's a little bit sweet to my taste but I guess Pineapple Upside Down Cake is supposed to be sweet. I use a 12" skillet to bake it. One thing I would recommend is putting a tray underneath the skillet because the butter will MELT and burn the oven when the temperature gets hot!! I started the oven at 350F then after 30 mins I increase it to 375F and bake it for probably another 15-20 mins, check the cake frequently then it would be fine. 😊

[@LOLOSwaGG]

Years later I'm still making some of the BEST FOOD EVER!! My cake is upside down n ready to go.....Thank you for all of your time!!#😋😋😋

[@sekereterra]

To all those with the frequently asked question: "what size is the skillet"? I've asked the same question, and got no answer. I decided to make a test. I have two skillets, one is 10.25", and the other is 12". I tried to put 8 pineapple slices (like in the video) in the 10.25" pan, but could only get 6 in. When I put 8 slices in the 12" pan, they fit. I assume all pineapple slices are standard size, no matter the brand. But, even so, the size of the slices must be close.

[@simplysplendid8997]

Is the butter salted

[@sekereterra]

@@simplysplendid8997 Sorry for the late reply. It's a rule of thumb that if you're putting salt in the batter, it's best NOT to use salted butter.

[@amberautery978]

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about the skillet :-)

[@sekereterra]

@@amberautery978 Still my favorite. When I make this recipe, people can't stop eating it.

I'm back here in March 21 making sure I got all the recipe correct because it came out awesome last time

This cake came out great, easy to follow my clients loved it, made it twice-delicious! !!

[@dkleman]

I just love this recipe. It takes about one hour to bake in our oven though, at least. The recipe is easy to make and tastes great. Thanks for sharing your recipe for this delicious desert. I've already baked two!

[@nancyjohnson5810]

I love this recipe and will be trying it next. But as I do with all my pineapple upside side down cakes, I really enjoy it more with 2 cans of crushed pineapple instead. My hubby doesn't like the cherries so I layer on top of the brown sugar mixture pecans, yum. Can't wait to try this thanks for the video.

This cake is delicious ...your video was excellent, easy to follow...thank you!

[@sweatergod5386]

ok I don't know what I did but the cake was so thickkkk it was like a pineapple brick and it was like 12 inches so now I have this huge cake with the strength of a freakin nuclear reactor that I just have no idea what to do with i took two dang measly bites of this cake and I gained 500 pounds in under 0.2 seconds- I could feed the entire Soviet army with this cake- I could utterly demolish lives and leave hollows in my wake with this cake- Tastes pretty good tho not gonna lie 8.8/10 on the cake scale

[@islandgirl3330]

Maybe you mixed it too much. Once you start adding flour, you don't keep beating it to death. Then the batter breaks down and the cake, muffins, whatever ends up tough. I usually do that part by hand.

[@janepowers6711]

I’m guessing, but perhaps the size of the pan had something to do with the high rise on the cake....?

[@jaquedapruitt3977]

Omg, I'm afraid. I just put my batter in the oven. And it was much thicker than hers.

[@freespiritwithnature4384]

Jaqueda Pruitt oh lord . It must be a large pan, or a Bundt pan . Has anyone ever tried a glass pan ? Yes the secret is adding the dry to wet ,just until mixed . If Over mixed,it’s a flop. Same with banana bread,muffins ok.

I made this cake just a couple weeks ago using a 10 1/2 in cast iron. I have now been asked for 2 more of the same- I went out a purchased a new 12 in cast iron. Still took 45 min. for the stick to come clean.

[@sekereterra]

I'm trying this in my pressure cooker because my oven died. Most of the PC recipes I've found turned out cakes that looked wet and dense. I have no idea how to make a fluffy result. Definitely trial and error time, but I love this recipe so this is the one I'll have to start with. UPDATE: This is NOT for the pressure cooker. It turned out horrible. It still tasted good, but it was so dense, there was no crumb at all. Anyway, my oven is working again, so...

Made it once and flavor was good but a bit to dense, compacted...kind of not great by 2nd day. But I'm giving it another try tomorrow and will update. I did bake it in a 13 by 9 baking glass dish and size was perfect. Thank you!

[@anabellavaldez5834]

other use condensed milk, or coco milk we jave here in Venezuela called harina pan, like flour but its a corn I don't know if I can use it.

[@Minpher123]

+anabella valdez You cannot use harina. You need flour made from wheat. All Purpose Flour (USA) or Plain Flour (UK) is used to make biscuits, pastry, cakes and crepes, and in breads which do not require yeast, such as scones. Self Rising Flour (USA) /Self Raising Flour (UK) contains some baking powder and also salt. Always follow the recipe! Strong Flour or Bread Flour, is used in the making of yeast breads, but plain flour can also be used with yeast to make pizza dough. Plain flour and bread flour may both be used to thicken gravy or make a sauce with a roux. Cake Flour is for making cakes that are extra light.

Making it tonite - the Hubs is verrrry excited - his favorite cake. Update: Epic Fail! I should have known better. This is a HUGE cake recipe - it does not work In a 10" cast iron pan! In my 53 years of cooking I've never had such a mess in my oven. Black burning brown sugar lava setting off my smoke detectors and making my oven a regular dumpster fire. PLUS, the cake was raw and runny in the middle. If you're using a 10" cast iron, cut the recipe in half ....... or find another recipe - there are a zillion of them out there.

I tried this recipe. The cake with the exception of the topping was fine, especially on the first day. It did firm up a little the next day. The topping had a funny taste and was sweet, yet the pineapple was a bit tart. If I put more sugar, it will be extra sweet. I used Dole pineapple from the tin. I don't know if it is because I used the light brown sugar. I always use the Demerara sugar or white sugar when baking. I will have to see if there is a recipe where they don't melt the sugar in the butter. I have used that brand of butter to bake my cakes many times. I did not use a frying pan because I don't have one that size. Could it be the baking tin or the light brown sugar that caused the strange taste? I had to scape off the top of the cake to eat it.

[@randyjing]

[@itscookingmomma]

I just cut the stick of butter in half before placing it in the pan to melt :)

[@Midquinn3]

+55Herbie1 ... I was confused about the butter, too, and ended up using way too much. (Come to think about it, maybe that's why it took so long to bake?). Took every bit of 45 minutes +. According to my honey, it was still delicious. Just very, very buttery!! Have to take his word for it... I'm gluten intolerant :-(

[@sekereterra]

You should use a different flour next time. Something like coconut flour is gluten free, I think. Look it up, there's plenty of choices. Why should you live without cake?
