Cooking a cake upside-down is, surprisingly, a traditional and age-old baking technique. Cakes used to be baked in cast iron skillets where they were easier to cook when fruits were placed at the bottom.
Pineapple upside-down cake is a classic dessert. Taste the butter and caramel on the cake, with the tangy twist from baked pineapple. Since we don’t make cakes in iron skillets nowadays, there’s no more excuse to pass on this scrumptious treat! Try this easy Pineapple Upside-Down Cake now!
