This classic Pineapple Upside-down cake is soft and delicious. It is baked with the toppings at the bottom of the pan so that once the cake is baked you can just invert it and serve… no need of any additional frostings or toppings. I have used fresh Pineapples for this recipe but you can use canned ones if you don’t find any fresh pineapple.
