  • Step 5
    Add dry ingredients alternately w/milk to beaten mixture( shortening mixture), beating after each addition..
  • Step 6
    Very carefully spread in pan over pineapple chunks..smoothing it out evenly..
  • Step 7
    Bake in 350° oven for 50-55 minutes..( check it after 40 min.) till a nice golden color.. Cool in pan for 5 minutes..invert into serving plate..serve warm..makes 8 servings..enjoy
  • Step 8
    NOTE: you can easily turn this into rhubarb upside cake..which w/following this recipe..is the bomb..even if ya don't like rhubarb..:) Just use 2 cups fresh or frozen rhubarb, cut up into 1/2-1 inch pieces..

  • Step 10
    P.s. When I made this..( the one in the picture.) ..I only had one can of chunked pineapple..I just every spaced it out, the best I could..;) ENJOY..:)
