Made this with my SPED classroom with slight modifications. I doubled the recipe so that everyone could have some. I used King Arthur measure for measure gluten free flour since some of them have celiac. I added all the pineapple juice from the can so that the batter would not be too thick. Everyone took a turn doing a task, whether adding an ingredient, rinsing off a dish, or stirring. It turned out really well and was enjoyed by all, and all met their vocational goals for the week We got some wonderful pictures for our album as well, and was a good end to the week. Thank you for sharing!

Loved this recipe! Definitely the best Pineapple upside down cake I have ever made! The cake was moist and had a delicious flavor. I did not have any whole milk so I substituted 1/4 cup of the pineapple juice and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Baked for 30 minutes, covered the cake per instructions and then baked for an additional 10 minutes. Delicious! Will be adding this recipe to my favorites!

I’m so sorry to hear that, Lillian! It shouldn’t come out dense. 🙁 The most likely culprit of a dense cake here is over-mixing the batter. 🙁

Tried this recipe for the first time. Not to fond of the cake. It was too dense, was looking for a more fluffier cake. Think I will ask my mom for my dad’s old recipe and try that.

Best version of this cake I have made. Definitely recommend this recipe. The cake part was perfect, which is usually my complaint with these recipes. Not overly moist and held together well. in fact, the texture and density of the cake was perfect. Absolutely delicious. I did use cake flour and fine sugar though, measuring by the weight given in the recipe, and I did use buttermilk as opposed to whole milk. Will be keeping this recipe and making it again. Thank you for sharing.

Made this twice now and I’m obsessed. Only things I altered slightly were that I like to use chopped pinapple to get some in every bite (but this requires straining out the juice), I bake it in a cast iron skillet, use dark sweet Cherries, and vegan butter (I’m dairy free sadly). The cake is light and fluffy and freaking tasty!!!!!!

Hmmm that’s disappointing to hear. Did the taste and texture remind you of cornbread? If so then the batter may have been over-mixed or over-baked. 🙁

More like a breakfast cake or bread than cake… would rather it be fluffier and a little sweeter

Hi Sandy! You can use unsalted butter. You will want to omit the salt. 🙂

This was very delicious. I don’t understand why people would use a box cake when making a cake from scratch is so easy. This cake was very very moist through and through, so tasty! I’m definitely going to make again. thank you for the recipe.

Had a couple of pineapples I wanted to use, and PUDC is the best option I had at the time. This recipe was so quick and easy, I know it will be my go-to for the next time. I used a gluten-free flour mix, and you’d never have guessed it. It was really rich and buttery – which is why I chose it. Very moist! I doubled the recipe as I had a crowd to feed, and it worked perfectly. I used a large glass (9×13?) baking dish and figured it would take longer so set the timer for 50 minutes. It was the perfect time. I turned it out, after letting it almost totally cool, onto a parchment lined baking sheet, then transferred it to a serving platter. I did cut the sugar down by 1/4 cup and never missed it. Oh, and I left off the cherries. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Unfortunately if it was tasteless it was most likely over-baked, try a few minutes less in the oven next time and that should help!

Tried it based on rave reviews. It was tasteless even though I added more vanilla than recipe called for.

Hi Jessie! It could work in a cake pan, but make sure to not over-fill the pan and watch it as it bakes as your bake time will likely be different. The cherries are a great addition to this cake, but if you don’t like them, feel free to omit them. 🙂

hi! I really want to make this cake but I don’t have a pie dish, can I use a round cake pan? also I’m not big on cherries, can I ommit them?

I made this in an 8×8 square pan with Trader Joe’s dairy-free buttery spread and almond milk to make it dairy-free, but otherwise I followed the recipe as instructed. It was a huge hit! Thank you for sharing this recipe which is definitely a keeper at our house.

It was great! My whole family loved it! I used unsalted butter instead of salted, and a slightly smaller pan but it turned out great.

Hi Annie! This recipe doubles well 😊

Can I double the recipe for larger pan? or should i make separate baking dishes?
