Rosemary Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Recipe Rating 4

When it's time to get back to baking, you'll want to try this delicious scratch pineapple upside-down cake with a twist...a bit of fresh rosemary is sprinkled over the pineapple to create an unexpected, but superb flavor combination. Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania, says this cake has been such a hit at church dinners that she now brings two or three.

I wouldn't have thought of this flavor combination, but it's delicious, very subtle. Also seems to be not as sweet as the usual, which I like.
