1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
This is an excellent cake recipe! I doubled the brown suger, pinapple and melted butter, and it turned out fantastic! I also baked it in a large bundt pan, it took about an extra 12 minutes, and it worked out very well.
i have used several of other peoples recipes for pineapple upside down cakes.....because i love to experiment in the kitchen! :) but this one is just way too much....u use too much flour and sugar...not enough eggs....i use 3 eggs. sorry i was not pleased with this recipe at all. i made it exact to the T and it was just overflowing out of the pan :(

This was delicious and I served it for a birthday party and everyone raved. I love the crushed pineapple on top rather than the rings. However take my advice and DON'T make it a day in advance. The cake was a bit dry. Next time I will make this the day of the party.
Good cake but too big for us so it halves successfully. I substitute butter for shortening and the taste is deeper and texture better. This, of course, is to suit our tastes.
This was simple to make and absolutely delicious!! Makes a large cake, I half it for smaller occassions!!
Wonderful taste, and simplicity itself. We couldn't find a bakery that made Pineapple Upsidedown Cake and this recipe was the best one we've tried. If you like too, add double the amount of brown sugar, butter and juice for the topping to really indulge yourself.
I did not like this cake at all..I think it calls for way too much flour because it's very dense, almost like you're eating pudding. (It's definitely not undercooked...just very dense.) Too bad I made it for a luncheon today. :( lol
Recipe was Great - like my mother's ole time recipe.. All Six of my grandchildren loved it I altered a tad - Doubled brown sugar & butter/sliced pineapple and marchino cheeries and then Cooled for at least 30 minutes before turning out -
