This cake recipe is easy to make, using pineapple for a fruity cake and also makes a glaze that helps deliver a cake that is very moist.
My mom always makes pineapple upside-down cake from scratch for birthdays with the white cake and then the sugar and pineapple rings on top. This cake tastes very similar but it is so much easier. The only thing missing was the maraschino cherries. My parents my sister and I really enjoyed it late one night while it was fresh from the oven. I’m sure it would be great with ice cream or whipped cream on top too…
My mother has been making this cake for 30 years. It takes minimal time to prepare and is so very moist!
