Linda's Notes:

You can rub the baking pan with butter before you sprinkle in the brown sugar or spray with pam

 

Directions

1
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Sprinkle 1/2 cup light brown sugar in bottom a 9 inch
round cake pan, pour 1/4 cup melted butter over the
brown sugar. Arrange whole pineapple rings in a circle with one ring in the center, fill each ring with a maraschino cherry.
2
In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients and blend on low speed for one minute scraping bowl often. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple rings and bake at 350 degrees for 50 -55 minutes until toothpick comes out clean

I just put this cake in the oven but it looks like a lot of batter for a 9" cake pan. I went over the recipe twice, now I'm just crossing my fingers.

Oh my gosh, this is DELISH!!! Before I baked this I read the reviews. I used a 13x9 glass pyrex dish and it was perfect. The cake is so very moist and melt in your mouth! I have had such a taste for Pineapple upsidown. I will always use this recipe. thank you!

I've been wanting to make one of these for a couple of weeks. Now that I've found your recipe for it, I think I'll go ahead and make it. Thanks for sharing!

Made this last night but it tasted kind of rubbery. Not sure what I did wrong but the flavor was on the bland side. I had to "add" an additional brown sugar and butter glaze once I turned it over as it was too dry. The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I used cake flour instead of all purpose flour. But that shouldn't have made that much of a difference. Sorry. I'll keep looking.

I think cake flour may not be right for this recipe,
also make sure the pineapple is drained well, too much
moisture will affect the outcome, you can brown the drained
pineapple rings in butter which adds a little carmelization
and ups the flavor intensity a bit.

Linda Hall: Thank you for the pointers. I'll give it another try, using your method. Will post the outcome ;)
