Fresh Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a classic we will love forever.
Sharing an oldie but a goodie today: Pineapple Upside Down Cake, only for this recipe we’re using fresh pineapples rather than from a can. If it’s been a few years since you’ve had this cake, you need to make it again real soon…you forget how good it is! Topped with whip cream, it’s the perfect dessert to brighten a cloudy day. Plus fresh pineapples are easy to find this time of year. We had it the other night for dessert and it’s always a hit.
See what I mean…it just brightens up your day.
It’s always fun to flip it over right before serving, it’s so pretty.
