Really good! Moist and sweet. Used canned pineapples instead of fresh, made it sweeter, I think. Will definetly use again!

sooooooo good! I made this yesterday with my boys. I was a bit worried because of the ratings, but I noticed that most people who rated it badly, were the ones who tinkered with it! I followed the recipe exactly, except that due to my lazyness, I did not mix the dry ingredients separately, I just added them to the egg yolk mixture, and mixed the dry ing. alone for a bit on the surface, then blended into the egg. This recipe does take some work, but well worth it. I think that adding the last egg yolk would not have been a problem. I will add it in next time, I hate having leftover half eggs! I also baked in a 8X8 in. pyrex pan, because I did not have the 9X9. I used canned generic pineapple, and they worked perfectly. I followed some reviewers advice and placed the cake on a larger pan to catch any drippings, and I lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. I stored it at room temp covered, and was sooo delish the next day! I just noticed that one piece in the middle was not thouroughly cooked, so I would advise to check the center before removing completely from oven. My husband and kids looooved it, and almost finished the whole thing in one sitting!

This is a great recipe. Very simple and delicious. I will be making this recipe for years to come. Thank you for the recipe! (would have probably scored this higher if "stiff but not dry" were clarified on the insructions for the egg whites!!??? Nonetheless, my attempt was well received -rave reviews from all who ate it!!:) Thanks a million!

One of the best Pineapple Upside Down cakes I have ever tried. Right after making this one, I went to my recipe box and through my own recipe away. My wife and family love it and it is gone shortly after I make it.

Had a good flavor, but the cake came out dry. I am not sure what I did, as I followed the recipe precisely. However, maybe I whisked the egg whites too long because it was rather foamy? The cake could use a teaspoon of pineapple extract to up the flavor.

My cake came out undone in the center as well...I made this EXACTLY like the recipe. I'm making two for a party, so I baked the first one JUST to see...so I'll make a second one and follow another reviewer's suggestion of more brown suger, less pineapple juice...and baked longer...then we'll see if it works. Looks beautiful and I'm SURE it'll get eaten! Once I've tasted and baked the other, I'll review again!

Like another reviewer, my cake came out cooked on the edged, raw in the middle. I cooked using gas, glass 9X9, at 400 degrees. After flipping had to place back in oven and bake an additional 15 minutes. THEN it was a tasty treat. Have to admit, this is a new oven for me and I'm a beginner baker. Also, used canned pineapples and were just fine. Also placed cherries in the middle-very pretty.

WOW. Just like my Mom used to make only better. I have to use Gluten Free Baking Flour (I use Red Mill) and some recipes don't do well with that substitution. But this one was absolutely fabulous. Only down side was that the sugar on the bottom came up and over the pan - making a smokey mess until I put alum foil underneath.

The cake came out excellent. The only thing I change was the baking temp. I bake my cake at 350 degree. My family loves this cake. I am going to make it again.

this was a very good homemade cake recipe.... the only reason i'm giving it 4 stars is b/c the topping didn't turn out the way i thought..it was very oooey gooey and i thought it was supposed to be kinda crispy .... (i baked it exactly as the recipe said, i didn't lower the temp.) SO READ THIS IF YOU ARE MAKING THIS RECIPE.... WHEN YOUR CAKE IS DONE BAKING AND HAS COOLED........IF YOUR TOPPING IS KINDA RUNNY/GOOEY/NOT CRISPY ENUF FOR YOUR LIKING( you can only tell by flipping it out of the pan first) COVER A PAN IN FOIL AND PLACE CAKE ON PAN (topping up) and place cake in oven on BROIL for a few minutes (depending on how crispy you want it) the pineapple will get a little brown also, but it really helped the topping and still tasted delicious!

This turned out fabulously! The pineapple/butter/brown sugar topping tasted so incredibly delicious - like a tropical caramel sauce! - and fit perfectly with the moist, delicately dense and rich cake. Actually, it is the cake part that really won me over. It has such a great texture and taste and because it's not too sweet it allows for a ton of different topping possibilities when you're in the mood for something other than pineapple. Actually, I made this twice in the last 4 days and the second time I made it I used sliced peaches in place of the pineapple rings, but still used the pineapple juice in the cake batter; that really adds a subtle element to the flavor that mustn't be left out! The peach-variation turned out tasting just like marmalade and was totally outstanding, too! My husband's birthday is in a week and I plan on using this cake base to whip something up with... hmmm, filled with raspberries and cream sounds like it would be nice! ** Overall, this is a great recipe for PUDC, and the cake base is just a perfect rendering of an out of this world pound cake, so either way it's a winner! I followed it to a "T" the first time and it turned out spectacular. Give it a try!!!

Delicious! This recipe is perfect as is. The first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly but took other reviewers suggestions and baked it at 375 for the recommended time. The cake rose beautifully but unfortunately the top didn't crisp up at all. However, it was still great. Made it again last night, baked at 400 and it turned out perfect! The topping was nice and crispy and the cake part was still moist and fluffier than I would've expected. I loved how much juice went into the batter because you can still taste it when it's baked up. I cheated and used canned pineapple rings and juice this time and didn't notice a big difference. I wasn't sure how long to beat the egg whites so I stopped when they got a little stiff but were very foamy. Definitely made the cake lighter and moister. Be very careful when turning this onto a plate! I ended up spilling hot butter and brown sugar all over the place because my plate wasn't tight enough to the pan. I would also recommend using a square cake pan just because it's easier to serve. Thanks for this recipe, it's a keeper :)

This recipe is not right. I ended up with burnt edges and gooey center. I made this 3 times, and even lowered the temp. The only thing that worked for me was splitting the cake between two pans and lowering temp to 375. Obviously it cooked much faster than the recipe calls for. I do have to say that the parts of the cake that weren't gooey or burnt tasted really good. I'm sure with some more tweaking, this could be a great recipe.
