I used unsweetened canned pineapple rings and the juice from them. My husband had two pieces and my daughters liked it. It is heavy and dense as the other reviewers said, but I guess it's supposed to be like that. I'm not a cake person, and it was too sweet and heavy for me. With my family of 5 it didn't go to waste. Make sure and put a cookie sheet under the pan so it won't run over in the bottom of your oven. I was glad I did. There was some drippage.

I made this recipe exactly as it said and it was very good! No problems with too runny of a topping, as indicated by other reviewers. Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is supposed to be more dense, as opposed to light and fluffy, and this recipe delivers. The cake remains moist despite the density, just make sure you don't overcook it.

This is a pretty good cake. My husband thought it was too dense and moist. It is a heavy cake, but great flavour. It was a great way to use up fresh pineapple. Followed the recipe exactly.

Easy and wonderfully tasty. I baked it in my Pampered Chef stoneware and it baked perfectly and evenly. Was wonderful when served warm. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed :)

I was surprised when reading the reviews on this cake that it was rated 4 stars since so many reviewers either tinkered with recipe or had some complaint about the end result. However, based on those 4 stars, I made this cake exactly as specified in the recipe. The resulting cake just was not very good, and I don't believe that tinkering with the recipe will substantially improve it. My recommendation would be to look for another recipe.

This recipe was good, and I think it would have been better if I had used my usualy pan that I didn't have at the time. Because I used a larger pan the sauce had to go a longer way so made the cake turn out a little dry. I will have to try this again with the cake pan recommended.

This is my second attempt at p-u-d-cake and much better than the first attempt. I used a 9" glass pie plate and reduced the cook time by 5 minutes. A dense cake, but I think it's supposed to be, rather than light and fluffy. The crunchy gooey edges were the best. I will use this recipe if I need p-u-d cake again.

I had never made a Pineapple Upside Down Cake before this one. I was a bit worried at first because there are so many steps, but it all turned out great! I thought the batter was too runny when it went into the oven, but the cake turned out great anyway and it kept for several days in the fridge. I had zero problems with this recipe. I never figured out what "Beat the whites until stiff bu not dry" meant. The egg whites never got stiff, they did get foamy (kinda like soap foam) but never stiff or dry. Oh well. I used canned Dole Pineapple slices, 1 can for the pineapple rings (I used 5 rings) and the 3/4 cup of juice. Other substitions: I used margrine instead of butter and I used cheap-o vanilla flavoring rather than vanilla extract. This recipe rocks, a perfect Pineapple Upside Down Cake!

This was a total disaster, although partly my own fault. I unfortunately used a springform pan - don't try it! When the sugar topping began boiling, it forced its way out the seams and ended up all over the bottom of my oven. Probably because of this, the fresh pineapple didn't soften or thicken enough, so was sort of raw and runny on top of the cake. The cake was ok at first, but the pineapple juices dissolved it to back to batter overnight. I had to throw it away. Needless to say, I had to clean my oven and I won't attempt this recipe again.

I doubled the cake part for 13X9 pan. I love how moist this cake is and the texture is lighter than a normal cake.

I must have done something wrong, cause this was very dry and the cake was very dense. Will make it easier next time and use canned pineapple rings.

This recipe was horrible. It was not sweet like cake should be and very dry! My 6 yearold only at the pineapples. I had to toss just about the entire cake into the trash.
