Ok, the taste of this cake was really great. But, the thing is like impossible to make look nice! I tired what others suggested and kept the top pan on the top layer until cooled and it was still completely lopsided and broken on top. Taste was fabulous-Appearance was not so great.

Very Moist. I accidently purchased the tidbits instead of the crushed pineaple, but it still came out fine. Although I love coconut in German Choc Cake, the coconut did not do much for me in this recipie. And as much as I love pecans, they surprisingly did not add much to the flavor of the cake either.

I've made this cake several times now, always to rave reviews. A few notes: - I've tried Pillsbury Moist Supreme Butter Recipe Yellow cake mix, and both Duncan Hines Butter Recipe Golden and Pineapple cake mixes. The pineapple cake mix gave a stronger pineapple flavor (of course), but I got the best/moistest cake out of the Pillsbury mix. - I've had good luck with Land o Lakes Baking Butter...otherwise I use the ultra creamy variety. - **Try the coconut!** It doesn't taste like you think it will. It adds SO much to the flavor/look of the cake! - It's sometimes hard to gauge the baking time with this one...the toothpick test can be deceiving. Just keep an eye on it. - Another reviewer suggested this and I always do it because it WORKS...after layering the cakes, place the pan, upside-down, back onto the top layer. Remove it after about half an hour; this should take care of the cracking problem.

This cake is moist and delicious. However, I have found that flipping the top layer, while warm, will cause the cake to crack. Instead, flip the top layer on to a screen and allow it cool for about 5 minutes before sliding it off of the cooling rack and onto the bottom cake layer. Don't let them cool completely or the layers wont stay as securely. This yummy cake deserves the extra effort! *^_^*

The aroma on this cake was very good along with the taste, but the presentation of it was alittle disappointing. I wasn't able to see the pineapple rings after it was baked.

Followed the directions exactly: nice moist cake BUT presentation is horrible. Impossible to line-up the layers just perfect and top layer cracked and fell apart. Also, not enough pineapple topping including in the recipe. Will NOT be making this again.

easy. delicious. impressive. what more could you want? i think ill be making this often. my only criticism is that the baking time was apparently too long as i took the cakes out at 40 minutes and they were already too done.

ok..but I have had better upside down cakes. This stuck to the pan - big time - and came out quite the mess despite greasing the pan

This was excellent! I wqas short on time, so I only made this a one layer cake. Couldn't be easier, nor quicker to make. I substituted apple sauce for the oil and it still came out moist.

Wondeful and easy!!!! It is tricky to get the layers directly on top of each other, but it makes a beautiful cake even if it's a little off!

I made this cake for my husband and it was very good. However, when I put the second layer on top of the first, it just fell apart and I had to wrap it with plastic wrap to hold it together (perhaps I didn't let the cake cool long enough before I took it out of the pan?) I will probably make this again, but, like others, will use a 9x13 pan. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.

My father-in-law requested a pineapple upside down cake for his birthday. I had never made one but of course I wanted to give it a try. I made this recipe and I could not believe how well it turned out! It looked pretty as well!

I started using this recipe about 6 months ago and it has become one of the most requested cakes I bake. Moist, good flavor, everything you could ask for in cake! Thank you!

A lovely recipe that is sure to please the whole family :) It's nice and easy to make, but it turns out so pretty when it's all finished. Will be sure to make it again. I didn't use any coconut, because there wasn't any on hand, but I think it may've turned out better without it.

THIS CAKE WAS SO GOOD IT WAS GONE IN 2 DAYS AND I WAS ASKED TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE. IT WAS EASY TO MAKE. I SERVED IT WARM WITH VANILLA ICE CREAM. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF USING YELLOW CAKE MIX I USED PINEAPLLE CAKE MIX.

Wonderful recipe! Makes a delicious, moist cake! Adjustments that I made: (1) Used apple sauce instead of oil (in cake directions) (2) bake according to directions on mix (3) used pineapple juice instead of water.

Excellent recipes..But I did not have enough sliced pineapple to cover the cake. There were only 4 pieces in the can. Anyway, the cake still tasted excellent..Next time I will just get an extra can of sliced pineapples and maybe a little more crushed pineapple, to make the middle a little thicker. :) Thanks!
