Very easy recipe and the icing gives it just the right amount of sweetness. Also keeps really well.

I love the pineapple cake. I love pineapple anyway and this cake is nice and moist. My husband likes it even better than I do.

I have been soooooo hungry for a pineapple upside down cake. I haven't made this yet but I will be soon. It looks easier than any recipies I've seen so far and for once I have all the ingredients. Thanks. I'll give top rating even before I try it!!!
