Good One! My grandmother used to make pineapple upside-down cake; only she baked it in an iron skillet. The bottom (top) would get really crispy. Mmmmm. A little variation: i put a small can of crushed pineapple in the batter as well.

Guys i messed up when I was coping down the recipe. I use i 1tablespoon of juice in the bottom of the pan and 1 tablespoon or so in the batter. Sorry for the mistake.

I have baked 2 of these in 24 hours. and not been able to try one of them. lol but i will after lunch.

In an iron skillet is also how we used to make it.So delicious, so long ago.Now I only eat it when someone else makes it.When I lost my father I lost a great cooking teacher.
