"Sweet" Post with Pineapple and Cherries

Every so often, the need to bake something special rolls into my brain.

In past years, while raising children, baking was a very frequent happening.

It's definitely not a thing of the past but these days, baking is done less often.  

We all know that sugar is not good for us and extra calories are definitely not needed.

However, last week's baking session centered around a pineapple upside down cake.

The "new to me" recipe called to make it in a frying pan! I used a cast iron one.

The cake was not a high riser but it tasted quite good.

The worst part of the cake came when it was time to flip the burning hot frying pan over on to a plate. 

I could have used an extra pair of hands but since there were no extra hands,  it was necessary to "make do."

The cake eventually came out onto the plate and there was no catastrophe doing it.

The recipe came from one of my very oldest cookbooks.  I had just never tried it before. 

The cake went to my daughter, who loves that kind of dessert.

If you like pineapple upside down cake, it's worth a try.

Sweet snacking!
