I grew up eating my grandmother’s take on pineapple upside down cake and I have to admit it’s nothing like any other pineapple upside down cake recipe out there. My grandmother’s is sweet with a sugar glaze on the pineapples. It is VERY delicious! This cake is one of our favorites and is usually the cake chosen by the birthday boy or girl for their birthday cake. If you like pineapple you must give this recipe a try!
