When I was about 3 years old I remembered my mother use to make a pineapple upside down cake in an iron skillet. So one boring afternoon trying to recapture my childhood, I put together this from my own imagination of what a pineapple upside down cake should be. This is NOT your Momma's Pineapple Upside Down Cake!
