Pineapple Upside Down Cake
This recipe is by far the best Pineapple Upside Down cake that I've ever made. It is also quick and easy. The cake is very moist and rises much higher than the average recipe. The combination of pineapple cake mix and pineapple juice isn't overwhelming either. I've been meaning to edit this for ages, however it looks so much better if you use dark brown sugar. Also if you'd like more topping, use 3/4 cup butter with 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar.

If I could give it more, I would! Of course, I made some modifications as I can't just leave well enough alone. Here is what I did...
Regular yellow cake instead of the pineapple cake (cheaper)
Fage 0 Greek yogurt instead of the oil (lower fat and creamier consistency)
Yum yum yum! Thanks Elaine for this recipe! A keeper for sure! -
This is a good cake but you can taste the imitation pineapple in the duncan hines mix. It really bothered me. Seems counterproductive... why not just use yellow cake mix and use pineapple juice instead of the water? I'm not saying the cake wasn't good, but that imitation pineapple flavor was annoying. It reminds me of sonic slushy or snow cone flavoring or something. But very moist, only my husband and I could taste the fake pineapple flavoring bc we have been enjoying a fresh pineapple cake recently from the store and were hoping to have a recipe of our own.

This is very good, I made the recipe exactly the same except after you lay down the pineapple rings, I also added crushed pineapple all around the rings to fill in the open spaces. I added the cherries to the ring and all around the crushed pineapple. Then I continued with the steps in the recipe. Turned out very good and really moist, I added a picture of the finished cake.

Oh my goodness, this is the most moist and delicious pineapple upside down cake I've ever had. I baked it for our 4th of July party, and everyone who tried it loved it. I substituted applesauce for the canola oil, and you would never know. My husband said it was his favorite pineapple upside down cake that I've made.

Awesome recipe. I followed exactly as instructed and turned out great! Very moist and flipped right out of pan. I cooked 50 mins and then knifed around sides of pan and flipped on serving plate. Left the pan on top about 10 mins to let juices soak. Yummy!
