Pineapple Upside-Down Cake



The star



Going retro today in preparation for family meal tomorrow. 

Green bean casserole already made.

Next, pineapple upside-down cake. 

I've only made it from canned pineapple rings. Today, using the real deal fresh, hand carved pineapple. Joy of Cooking recipe is a tad complicated but results in a dense, delicious cake that slid right out of the pan onto the serving plate with fruit and caramel sauce intact.

It's been years since this has graced our table. Spring's a good time to bring out an old friend.
