Passes the muster at the Fire Station. Can use all purpose flour. Have used peaches also. I would recommend using the recipe as directed. Much better than using a cake mix. So easy to get out of a cast iron skillet.

I made this tonight for my family and it is DEFINETELY a KEEPER! So light! It is VERY easy to make.

I made a few variations of this recipe. I had been looking for a pineapple upside down cake that used a skillet to bake it in, since that is what I remembered my Mother using. I was in a time crunch, so I used two pineapple flavored cake mixes, but followed the recipe otherwise (doubled it) I used my very large cast iron skillet; filled it almost 3/4 full; didn't use all of the batter from the two cake mixes, but then I had batter left over for cupcakes! The cake turned out WONDERFUL! Very moist, easy to remove from skillet, and large enough for everyone to have 2 peices-plus! This is definatly a 'keeper' recipe as far as our family goes!

I followed the recipe, and it turned out wonderful!! Moist and Delicious. I made minor additions; added 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice while beating the yolks, and sprinkled some walnuts between the pineapple rings. My husband and i loved this recipe, very light and fluffy. Thanks for sharing.

This cake was exceptional! Very moist, it didn't last 20 minutes. I used fresh pineapple and had more than I needed so I added more in the middle by adding 1/2 the batter and then an additional layer of pineapple. Thanks for sharing this delicious recipe.

The first time I made this it was a little dry and not quite what I expected. The second time I added a little sour cream and evaporated milk to the batter along with about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple juice. It was moist & delicious. Just like my great grandma used to make!

My DH made this as a surprise because he knows how much I love pineapple u/cake. I can't rate any higher then a 3 because the almond extract ruined the flavor for me. I might try it using vanilla extract.

I made it as directed and found it very dry and the texture was lacking. I believe that adding some pineapple juice would have helped it.

My Dad loves pineapple upside-down cake. I found this recipe and my wife made it for him for his birthday, hands down it is the best pineapple upside-down cake ever!

this is my all time favorite cake. it's perfect for summer get togethers or birthday cakes!

I added pecan halfs between the pine apple slices. Adds a pleasant nutty flavor. You can also use walnut halfs.

I, personally believed the recipe was great, it was a tad too dry, and too heavy, but the finished product was beautiful to see. I think next time ill add some sour cream, for a lil moisture. don't know yet., ill repost on this review later. ;]

I am a mother of 5 children and they liked it! yummy, and delicious!!!!mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

This was fabulous!! I used peaches instead of the pineapple because that is what I had available and it was so good. It was beautiful and everyone loved it!!

This is by far the tasties, moistest, most delicious pineapple upside down cake I have ever made or eaten. I did nothing to change it; it is perfect when made exactly as directed.

This did not turn out right at all!! There was way too much butter and not enough flour. We cooked it for almost an hour and it was just runny. The top made a crust, but the rest was sick! I'm sure the garbage liked it

Great cake. My wife doesn't like pineapple upsidedown cake, but loved this one.

I followed the directions exactly, except that I baked the cake in a 9X13. My boyfriend absolutely loves it and has hade me make it 4 times in the past 3 weeks...
