YUM! We love this cake. I would never make an unspiced upside-down cake again. The second time I made this I used a couple of cans of pineapple tidbits which gives more coverage of pineapple and then randomly placed the cherries.

It is one of the best pineapple upside down cake that I have baked or eaten anywhere

I have a chicken fry pan that the handle broke off of. I use it to make this wonderful cake in. No changes necessary...stick to the original recipe

I just made this recipe again with a twist... I used fresh granny smith apples instead of pineapple. I used 5 medium apples sliced thin and removed the core. I then steamed them for 8 - 10 minutes; or until crisp tender. Let cool in a strainer while I made the cake batter and glaze. Baked according to directions. As for Ms. wmssquad below...a well seasoned 12" cast iron skillet will do the trick.

I made the cake without any changes in a 9 x 13 baking pan. Next time I will grease the sides of the pan, as it stuck but good, and I have a less-than-perfect looking cake. However, it tastes delicious and since it isn't for guests, we are good to go.

Easy to make and so light compared to other upside down cakes. My family loved it.

I made this cake in a 12 inch round, and it turned out wonderfully! I forgot to set the timer, but I think it cooked much faster than the recipe calls for. I only wish that my can of pineapples had one more slice since there was room for one more on the bottom of the pan. I also thinned the batter a little more to make it spread a little easier since I was selling this cake! Will definitely bake it again.

My daughter and I prepared this cake for Thanksgiving, and our family loved it! This cake was delicious and easy to prepare. We suggest altering the recipe by minimizing the amount of sugar and brown sugar recommended as the cake was fairly sweet, yet moist. The presentation was nice from the iron skillet, and the spices added a flavorful touch. We look forward to preparing and serving this cake soon.

What a great twist on an old fave! I found the spices to be really appealing in this recipe. I added a little extra cinnamon so the nutmeg wouldn't be overpowering. We loved this cake! Next time though, I think I will use a little less butter and sugar for the pineapple layer - it was a little too much for us.
