    I don't know that I've ever had pineapple upside down cake, but let me tell you, if I had, it was nowhere near as good as this Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe, because now I am absolutely in love! This Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe is quite light in terms of taste, it isn't overly sweet and the fruit is refreshing, which I am sure we can all appreciate on these hot summer days!

    When you have your friends over for those hot summer days by the pool, or simply having a backyard bbq, this cake is the perfect dessert! It's also quite lovely to serve to your family on a summery Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
