The Best Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Claire Saffitz (New Book Reveal)

[@brian7593]

Pre-ordered! Dessert Person was my first cook book ever and I'm thrilled to get your new one. Gotta support Claire and keep our girl paid so she can get them vanilla beans!

[@14judita]

Hahhahahahahha let’s help her get them vanilla beans 🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣 i love it!!!!

[@14judita]

Oh! Also so her cats continue living the good life! Hehe ☺️

[@ElizabethGonzalez-tj8gl]

the new book is STUNNING. i was already obsessed with the cover but seeing the chapter openers blew me away even more. can’t wait to get mine (pre-ordered as well!) ☺️

[@Isaac_99]

I waited months for blood orange season in Australia to make the upside-down cake only last week. One of the best cakes ever and looked just like the cover! Huge pineapple fan so I have to try this one next 🤩

[@TzipThomp]

Me too!! I was so stoked to make that blood orange cake. So good 🥰

[@lauravillarreal24]

I was just thinking about how amazing the people behind the scenes are and how supportive they are of Claire! Such a vast difference in the way Claire felt on gourmet makes to this!

[@briannahancock4722]

I love the font you chose for the chapter openers! Totally reminds me of an old recipe books and I’m obsessed! I can’t wait to get mine, already preordered!!

[@heathergleiser]

Bookman JF. That plus the dark backgrounds and high saturation colors are just so 70s. 👌

[@TheSwedishMel]

@@heathergleiser I was thinking the same! They remind me so much of my mum's old Love of Cooking from like 1972 😄

[@heathergleiser]

@@TheSwedishMel Took me back to old Betty Crocker cookbooks I devoured even when I was a kid. I wasn’t even alive yet but I love food styling of the 70s/80s when minimalism hadn’t yet been invented. 😆

[@AllegraVivace]

The new book looks incredible, really excited to bake through this one 😊

[@amberjohnstone1007]

Love love love the vintage feel of the photos! I have a book of my grandmother's that this reminds me of! Congrats Claire!

[@JustinDOehlke]

This has been my birthday cake request my entire life. I can't wait to make tey this recipe!

[@waitasecond3]

I just made this and OMG CLAIRE! The cake part of this is hands down the BEST LIGHTEST MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH cake I’ve ever had. I don’t even like cake all that much but this was UNREAL. I mean, the entire thing was delicious but now I totally get why you wanted to taste just the cake first!! I’m gonna make this again but as an apple cinnamon cake ❤️ my husband already requested it for his birthday!!

[@89hibbs]

Soooo we JUST finished making this recipe by following the video...and oh...my...god. i cannot describe how perfect it is. I will definitely be buying the book.

[@keikokeket]

Claire, I waited a few weeks to make this because I wanted to have my brother try it when he came to visit (I didn't think I could eat a whole cake by myself before it went stale). Now I wish I hadn't because now I have to *share* this cake, which I could for sure eat all by myself before it goes stale. One of the best cakes I've ever eaten in my life!

[@tati.l.]

welp, time for a Dessert Person x What's for Dessert pineapple upside down cake showdown here at home!

[@embilbieblimblehead6827]

OMG Claire I love the classic midcentury modern styling of your new book, that FONT I AM RELIVING MY 70s CHILDHOOD

[@stacylarson740]

I made this recipe for my grandfather’s 86th birthday party. It’s the best pineapple upside cake I’ve ever had. The rum really added a nice flavor. It was a big hit and my grandfather really enjoyed it. Will make this again!

[@suzyqueues]

I just made this and it looks just like Claire's! It smells amazing too. Your instructional video guided me through effortlessly....thank you!

[@yejikim1494]

I made this cake this morning and it's so PRETTY!! like a flower!! Thank you, Claire!!

[@carmenling8027]

I made this cake for Father’s Day. It was seriously delicious! Everyone kids and adults loved it! Thank you!

[@MrsBrit1]

My mom's favorite cake is pineapple upside down. Every time she has ever made it (and she makes it how her mom made it), part of the liquid is pineapple juice and it is made in cast iron. She cooks the pineapple and sugar mixture on the stove top and pours the batter in while it is still hot on the stove! It is absolutely the best. The cake is light and airy and full of pineapple flavor. So although this one looks good, because pineapple upside down cake is always good, I don't think it could beat my mom's (and mommaw's) recipe! Sorry, Claire! Still love ya! 😉💕

[@judyweinstock9972]

Totally agree pineapple upside down cake should be made in cast iron. Comes out so crispy and chewy.

[@travellaur1315]

claire here saving us all from the mid-week sadness again🤧 in all seriousness, i love that you explain not only how to bake delicious things but also the science behind a lot of things- thank you for sharing yet another amazing recipe! sending lots of love from turkiye

[@michellemao4894]

Such an amazing recipe. Absolutely delicious. I served mine warm with some vanilla ice cream once I flipped it. Top tier recipe. The brown butter cake was dreamy.

[@mrtodd3620]

I like the retro colorways of the pictures in the new cookbook.

[@prpunk787]

The version from Dessert Person is the first recipe I made when I got the book. Everyone loved it! I loved the addition of pecan to the batter.

[@DanHinchliffe]

Appreciate that "What's for Dessert" has no question mark, so is simply a very blunt assertion.

[@AliciaAgius]

Just honestly the most excited. Dessert person changed my attitude to baking overnight. Pre. Ordered.

[@kavitamohan19]

I get so excited every time there is an upload from this channel.

[@FerMontalbo]

Dessert Person has been a delightful journey for me, it made me enjoy my cooking even more. Can’t wait to have your new book in my hands, love you Claire! ♥️

You need to explore Donauwelle (Snow White Cake). The proper version with butter cream and crisp chocolate topping.

[@ChaoticGoodDeeds]

The exit shot with the kitty

[@AmeliaBell28]

Okay I know there's a delay between filming and release and you probably have everything really planned out in advance BUT if you guys could make an episode for the tomato and feta tart from Dessert Person while we're still in peak tomato season, that would be amazing!!! I'll probably make it anyway but I love having the videos to hold my hand through the process. It feels like doing a fun homework assignment somehow? Like I get to read the recipe and watch the video a bunch of times to prepare myself and then I get to try it and see how I do. So excited to have a new book full of recipes to try soon!

[@destinationunknown4959]

She is one of the few cooks who lists the ingredients outside of the video so I subbed.

[@GynxzGaming]

I watch you as therapy. Don't care much about what you're cooking as long as you're in frame. This brought back memories of helping my mother do this cake when I was like 9 but I mostly watch because of you. Great attitude, informative, funny, so relatable... (the list goes on.) Do you ever provide substitutes (with proportions) on low sugar alternatives. keto/paleo/low carb? Thanks for all the free therapy sessions!!

[@EliFromSaalt]

whoever made that description for this video is a comedic genius 0:00 start 0:01 how to make the cake

[@laurenschenck5355]

LOVEE pineapple upside down cake perfect for summer and so light and refreshing 😃

[@twocvbloke]

Only time I ever made a pineapple upsidedown cake was at school, under the evil eye of a teacher who seemed to hate everyone who had a pulse, seemed to use any excuse to shout at people, ugh, not a nice person!!! But this cake, looks absolutely gorgeous!!! It's no wonder Felix came to go "ohai! I can haz cake?" on camera... :D

[@aimeeparrott9204]

The new book is GORGEOUS! I'm so happy that you unboxed on camera. It was lovely to see your pride and love for the culmination of your work.

[@r0saa13]

its always a good day when u get a notification that claire posted a new video💛💛💛

[@SueK2001]

I have pre-ordered! I also received my baking slab yesterday and I’m going to do a blueberry/ peach slab pie for my family this weekend! I’m so excited to use it!🥰

[@LearnAndReflect]

Hi Claire!!! Big fan. What's your favorite thing to do with fresh figs from a fig tree? Thanks for all the amazing recipes, your time, your energy, your wisdom :)

[@TheBereangirl]

I have never met a cake I didn't like, and this cake is one of my childhood favorites! Brown butter cake? Where have you been all my life?!♥️😋

[@TheMimiSard]

Claire's white patch is quite outstanding in this video. It does help that her hair is practically black, because that makes the white stand out so well.

[@itsallGudmin]

Every Thursday is instantly better waking up and seeing a new Clair vid... Weeks without uploads are hell lol

[@graceb9628]

A great desert and Felix checking things out. I couldn't ask for more from this channel.

[@emmalquan]

SO excited for your new book! Dessert Person has been my go-to book for baking and everything I've made has been amazing and gotten great reviews from friends and family. Claire hugging the fluffy chicken is so precious

[@jmcosmos]

Pineapple isn't the only fruit which works with this cake. Yesterday I made it using sliced Bartlett pears, and my family delighted in it. I expect it's also feasible using apples or any other firm-fleshed fruit.

[@willglover418]

The great fairy fountain music playing in the beginning is *chefs kiss*

[@hannahmaeponce9259]

perfect dessert for summertime 🫶🏼

[@kmaemag6606]

I screamed when she pulled the book out of the box because the wrapping paper is from the company I work for!!!!

[@johnnytsunami420]

Claire, lemme tell ya, I consider myself a very lazy home cook. I know enough to make food taste good and interesting but I'd much rather find out first if there's a shop in the nearby 30 mile radius that sells something to satisfy a craving before ever making something at home. I hate dishes. And so I don't have that many cooking or baking books. I have the ones I like because I trust the people behind them and one of those people is you! No recipe from Dessert Person has ever failed to be delicious. From the easy ones to the hard ones and this youtube channel is just a great thing to have first and foremost for when I decide to try a another recipe from the book. Can't for this new one! Looks great.

[@shoshana7412]

Love your recipes. I made the blood orange olive oil cake and loved it. Now I’m making this one soon.

[@carolinewalsh8888]

This is my dad's all time e favourite cake and what I make every year for him. I don't use rum but instead use pineapple juice in the batter and it makes it so light and fresh. I also have to add cherries. His order! 😂

[@karenb8200]

Great video! Felix REALLY wanted to star in this episode. And he succeeded! What a cutie.

[@briannamcgowan6697]

I asked for the new recipe book for my birthday, and my partner's mom pre-ordered it for me as a surprise! I am so excited for when it comes in the mail!

[@clarissaarevalo883]

Can yogurt replace the sour cream??

[@ZoraTheberge]

You can tell Felix knows what’s up. He can smell the aromas better than we can.

[@danbev8542]

Wonderful video & recipe! You always take classics to a new level! Definitely going to order your new book.

[@twrob82]

The cat walking all over the counter and being handled by Claire while food is being prepared gives me the willies.

[@machoire__]

that book cover reminds me of your hair! aaggghhh so cute!

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Pineapple upside down cake is one of my go to potluck recipes. It's gorgeous, it travels very well, and (almost) everyone loves it. I'll look forward to trying your recipe!

[@daviddavid9837]

So similar to mom's. Her pineapple upside down was always made in her cast iron chicken fryer. And that's still how we do it today. 1 maraschino cherry in each pineapple hole, but sometimes with roasted walnuts or pecans in the caramelly brown sugar mixture. Yum. And congratulations on the book! It looks great! No doubt the recipes inside are delicious!

[@jsdemonaco]

can't wait to try this, one of my all-time favorite cakes! and the new book looks AMAZING!!

[@fcsolis]

What's for Dessert? Goosebumps when you were unboxing. Awesome. Thanks!

[@nicolemillar6822]

Ordered my book! For the rest of the world, have metric temperatures been included this time?

[@laurenschenck5355]

Good morning Claire! Hope you are well 💓

[@lilithevans8894]

I am excited to try this recipe! I just got all my ingredients from the grocery store. But, I live in Europe and when things are measured in cups, it makes the recipe a little harder to follow. e.g. our butter is measured in grams on the package instead of cups in north America. Maybe in the future you could include the gram equivalent somewhere in the recipe? :-)

[@Issor_Rossi]

Felix fighting for the cam time

[@falllenangelofdoom]

king wants his 5 minutes of fame

[@jordanhorowitz3356]

I have a food intolerance to pineapple. So I use kiwi fruit in upside down cakes. Can't wait to try this one.

[@KarisaMusolf]

So excited for your new book! Will there be signed copies available??

[@brianmeehan94]

Just ordered...can't wait!!! Just in time for holiday baking!!!

[@BakingByBrandon]

I am so insanely excited for this new book. It brings me so much joy to try new recipes so I know I'm gonna geek when I get the book and look thru it for the first time!

[@not.sure.yet.]

Sweet! I make mine just like this but I use a cast iron Pan. Everyone should try making it, it tastes yummy!

[@Dynamic_dino_]

Me: is allergic to pineapple Also me: oh my gosh I have to make this because it looks amazing

[@lgaines4086]

It's really good with plums, apples or pears

[@Kazacks9602]

Pre-ordered my copy of your new book. Can not wait! 😄

[@WhiteSpatula]

Love the purplescent backdrop on your book cover! And felt compelled to share that there’s really such a word as purplescent. Cheers!

[@hylkema101]

Ive made myself Pineapple upside down cake every year since I was 7, and I can't wait to try this version later this year!

[@Purr-spectivesFun]

making this ty claire

[@Kalithrasis]

Pineapple Upside Down cake is actually my favorite cake ever.

[@bluesky8122]

So cool you made another book!!! I haven’t gotten the first one yet but I plan to get both eventually!! Ever since I started watching your channel earlier this year I’ve been hooked, you are my go to for all cooking advice!!!

[@sarabird7922]

Ah, I've been baking my way thru Dessert Person, and I've yet to find a bad recipe........... Good thing my birthday is coming up in November. :D

[@melsyoutube]

congrats on the new book!!!

[@samanthabarker3772]

I just made this yesterday, it’s by far the best thing I’ve baked it was so delicious! So excited for your new book, it already has a home next to your other one right on the counter 🥰

[@katiehenderson511]

Preordered immediately. Your my first book in my cookbook collection

[@ReginaldTAP3]

Claire, will you be doing any Book Signings in NYC when the book comes out?

[@ArgentAbendAzure]

The new book is beautiful Claire. Very classic looking. Nice job.

[@14judita]

Looking forward to you new book!!!! What a treat!!!!

[@se-iw5tj]

Pre-ordered!

[@MsFarAwayLover]

I'm so excited for your book to come out! I also loved watching your video with WitchCore Thunderstorm soft music in the background. It was like a dream while being baked c:

[@amandaberofsky]

You can add dry powdered milk to the butter to get more brown butter solids.

[@jiojiart]

When Claire was opening her new cook book it was so cute and she was so excited I can’t wait to read and your baking secrets part 2

[@lauraskonce3502]

This was my fathers birthday cake. My mother would put a maraschino cherry in the center of the pineapple ring.

[@nopetuber]

omg thanks for mentioning the difference between European and American butter! Every butter intense bake I make from US recipes turns out crappy... there's a huge difference

[@kjdude8765]

It's 2% fat...the only other main difference is that American butter isn't cultured so it's more neutral flavored.

[@elijahhurley7661]

Is there a place to order a signed copy of the new book!

[@whynotfrancis]

its my birthday and this is the best possible present. love you claire

[@jenniferwilkerson6495]

Im so excited for your new book! Its beautiful just like this cake! cheers!

[@himbo_noa]

So much Felix! I hope you're all doing well. 🧡🧡

[@ThisJupiterFlower]

Any ideas for a replacement for the pineapple? My man is allergic

[@annpitt7458]

Congratulations on the new book. Heading to order now. What are the containers you use for storage?🦋

[@arlenesolis024]

I love this cake. It is my favorite childhood dessert. I have one problem - I can't wait to get the book I already ordered. Thx for giving me my love of cooking back. My niece and I love doing dessert together, and we have done most of your first book.

[@galajensen6416]

FELIX!!!! It’s been so long I wasn’t sure if he was okay!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@bryghian]

I'm so excited for the new book! My mom will be so stoked to get her copy...

[@Champstamp83]

I’m curious about what the focus of the new cookbook is, I have loved baking through “dessert person”! What is the theme of the new book?
