Celebrating National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day

Today is National Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Day.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake became popular in America after 1903.
The cakes were traditionally made in cast iron skillets.
Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is a very satisfying dessert that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee.
To make it, line the bottom of a cake pan with pineapple rings and then place a cherry in the center of each ring, topped by a butter and sugar mixture.
Finally, the cake batter is poured over the pineapples and baked.
The best part happens when the cake is done; the pan is turned upside down onto a platter, revealing a unique and delicious masterpiece.
Remember to save the top piece of the pineapple with the foliage still attached; the foliage can grow into a lovely houseplant.
