This is Hubs’ favorite cake. I should really make it more often, ‘cuz it’s very easy and homemade cake is rather frugal to boot!
Preheat your oven to 350° and grease your 9 x 13 pan.
You’ll need:
- 1 can crushed pineapple
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 5 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup butter
- 1½ cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
Drain the pineapple but reserve the liquid. Mix ¼ cup melted butter w/ the brown sugar, 2 Tbsp of the reserved liquid and the drained pineapple. Spread it in the pan.
To the rest of the reserved liquid add enough water to make 1 & 1/3 cup. Set this aside.
Combine flour baking powder. Set this aside too.
Cream 1 cup butter with the white sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute. Add the flour mixture alternately with the juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Pour over the pineapple mixture in pan.
Bake at 350° for 40 minutes. Do the toothpick test.
I don’t have a platter the right size to turn this cake upside down . . .
. . . so I don’t.

I have a new best friend named Joyful!
I think she may be the first to “Lasso My Button”!
Anybody else wanna be my best friend and put my button on their blog?
Thanks, Joyful!
I’m joyful now, too!
Ah, grand idea! Thanks Michelle!

I Love your blog set-up.
You have done a wonderful job.
I snatched your button.
I wonder if I can snatch your comment button?
I Love Pine-apple upside-down cake. YUMMY!!
Okay I REALLY REALLY want this cake now. But I have no pineapple.
Yummy… That is one of my favorite cakes too. I don’t have a platter large enough to turn it over either. SO I use a cookie sheet fits perfectly.
Yummmm, I have not made this in ages!
