Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake 

I loved that cake when I was a kid! Both my mom and my grandmother made it, always with the maraschino cherries.

My Mother's favorite cake! Carrot cake is a close second. BTW, I really like your Royal Albert serving dishes.

Kevin, like you, I definitely prefer my cakes made with milk. Great presentation. You are easy to understand.

Thank you for converting your measurements and the oven temperature. It shows thoughtfulness for your followers around the world. More power to you. Love your recipes.

Yum! Perfect springtime dessert. (Or anytime) I agree that it would be fun to make in a cast iron frying pan.♥️🍍

Good morning Kevin, this cake is perfect especially since it's the first day of March 🌻🌸🌼🌺 Thank you for reminding us of the finer things in life and good memories! It's the simple things in life that are heartwarming and make us smile... One of the reasons I love watching you, you always put a little nostalgia in it 🥂👨‍🍳

I love pineapple upside down cakes.

I've made 2 of these since watching your video. I did use cherries. I always have these ingredients on hand, so why not make a cake. It was my first scratch cake and my first on in a skillet. It goes so well with my morning coffee or some cold milk. Thank you.

You're taking me back again today. This used to be my requested birthday cake, with cherries and the sauce that went with it. It uses the leftover juice, and mmm is it good. Pineapple Sauce In saucepan mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tbsp. cornstarch. Stir in 1 cup of juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly til thickened. Remove from heat, add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/2 tsp lemon juice. Serve warm over cake. Don't know if this is the Betty Crocker version, that's where the cake recipe came from. However, now that page is missing from mom's book. She used her 9" GE electric skillet to cook it. It came out with chewy bits of caramel on the side, my favorite part! The end came when the skillet stopped working about 1989. I took it to work, took it apart to find a loose wire in the handle, I soldered it, put the handle back together, put in on my passenger seat for the ride home. I opened the door and that skillet fell onto the asphalt driveway, the handle smashing into about 50 bits. No more pineapple upside down cake, the iron skillet version paled in comparison. Try the sauce next time, it doesn't disappoint.

Oh my gosh, that pineapple upside cake, looks so good. Now it is fall 2022 when I watched this so I want pumpkin bread, pie, muffins, crunch.

We always have this for Easter. I put cherries in between each pineapple slice and each hole. Beautiful presentation. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes. Thank you also for your way of speaking to and with us. It's like having an old friend in my kitchen. Love you so much. I am here in Poughkeepsie. We are almost neighbors!!!

Delicious-looking pineapple upside down cake! Looks like a great and simple recipe that I will try. Thanks, Kevin!

My mom made these all the time . She put maraschino Cherri’s in the pine apple holes and some times vanilla custard also . Us kids loved it . At 65 years old I still love it .

Yummo! Smells like a carnival when it bakes

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is one of my favorite cakes!!!

Great tutorial!! Thanks much!

Must have the cherries !!

ok, looks delicious BUT....I have to get my cast iron pan back in working order, haha

It's a family favorite of ours but I have always used the pineapple juice in the batter. Next time I will try the milk. Thanks for the tip.

Oh my... I'll have to make this soon! I love pineapple upside-down cake, and I want to try your recipe, Kevin. One important thing I don't have is a cast iron skillet. Another commenter mentioned that their family used to make it in an electric skillet which I do have. What tips would you have for doing it this way, and what temperature would you use? How long would you bake it (I assume with the cover on)? Lastly, I'm in a remote area and shopping is rather difficult without driving an hour each way. Do you think I could use 2% milk and add a little heavy whipping cream, which I have? If so, what proportions would you recommend? Thank you so much for your wonderful channel!

Kevin, thank you SO much!!! I have Loved Pineapple Upside Down cake Forever!!! Thank you for this delicious recipe. Bless you. 💖🏳️‍🌈🌈

GMTA I haven't had an upside down cake in well over a decade and was craving it last week. Thank you!

Yummy! Have you ever made salmon croquettes with a dill sauce? Would like your take on this-- thanks!

We used to add cherries around the pineapple before the batter went on.

oh honey, do try to use the dark brown sugar, omg what a dif!!!.. it caramelizes nicely and wow!

To make this cake that little bit more special, add a half a glassay cherry in each of the pineapple holes.

I’ve been looking for a pineapple upside down cake recipe. Finally, this is the one I will try! Thanks!👍🏽🧘🏽‍♂️🌻

This looks so good! I love your China pattern! It’s gorgeous! Is it still available? 💕

I love pineapple upside-down cake, but I also sometimes like to make my upside-down cakes using canned pears instead of the pineapple. It makes a nice change, especially in the fall.

Thank you Kevin for bringing back such fond memories of when my mom used to make this. In the black skillet and all. I believe she put cherries in the holes of the pineapple before she baked it as well as some chopped pecans. YUM!

My mom used to make this cake when we were children. I’ll be making this cake today and remember that time of childhood❤

I love pineapple upside down cake and this looks like an exceptional one. Thank you

I do not eat cake, but I love Pineapple upside down cake~~!!!! Thanks for sharing..♥

I will try it.

Hi Kevin, My husband Randy asked me if I'd make a pineapple cake. I was on my phone this at 6pm and voila! Here you are... making this delightful upside down cake. Coincidence? -Tiffany-

Ah, memories of childhood! Great presentation! Great recipe!

I’m really really love 🍍 so good cake with ☝🏻 Thx Kevin.

That looks so yummy, I wondered if you could put a crumb cake topping over the top before baking?

I wouldn’t have thought to make the pudding this way. I usually cream demerara sugar and butter in equal proportions together and spread that on the bottom of a cake tin. (My mother in law used golden syrup). I then pop the pineapple slices and glacé cherries on top, make a cake mixture and put on top and then pop in the oven to cook. When cooked turn out and I usually serve with custard and/or double cream. This cake in all its variations is a great favourite of my husband and daughter.

I baked it following your video. Turned out great!😊😊😊

This brought back memories of a dear friend who used to make this when we were young. I'll have to try this, it looks so yummy

My all time favorite dessert!! Thank you.

Thank you look forward to getting the recipe. ❤😊

Just a little pretty addition - when you serve the cake pop a maraschino cherry in the centre of each pineapple slice.

Mix the juice with coconut rum for the best drink.

This looks absolutely delicious 😊

I would add vodka and cranberry juice.

What a beautiful cake!!! This is one of my favorite cakes, ever! I like to add maraschino cherries and chopped pecans in with the pineapples. It is SO good! 😋I am really liking the cake batter you have made. It looks really nice! Thank you for the video and recipe! Enjoy your cake with your pineapple cocktail! 😉💛🙏

Wow...looks delicious...I’m taking a break from eating sugar...but I will make this one someday

Beautiful cake!🤩

That was lovely Kevin ....looks delish...thank you

💜

Oh God! Look at that! Cherries yes!

Did you make your own vanilla extract? 🙀👏🏽❤️

Omg! I just made this in Feb for my husbands birthday. Lol the family ate all of it in 1 day.. so sad

I have a robot cleaner called Kevin
