I guess you’re wondering… “where is the surprise!!! As big as this cake is….. there’s no surprise here!” The surprise is in the recipe... this cake is a Low Fat Pineapple Upside Cake! And it's baked in a Bundt Cake pan!! [my favorite] It may not look as pretty as all of its predecessors … [due to technical difficulty]… but this cake was delightful and delicious!!! I loved baking this cake.
