This is what we grew up on, from Better Homes and Gardens, and this one uses the PINEAPPLE SYRUP!! It also has more brown sugar in the topping (than the others I've posted)! It was -- AND STILL IS -- a WONDERFUL CAKE, and it's very easy and simple to make. Buon appetito!

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN CAKE

2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 pineapple slices, drained
6 maraschino cherries, cut in fourths

. . . . . . .

1-1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup minus 1 tablespoon pineapple syrup
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 egg

Heat oven to 375F.

Melt butter in 8x8x2-inch pan. Stir in brown sugar. Halve pineapple slices; place in mixture; center with 3 cherry pieces.

Sift dry ingredients together over softened shortening. Add remaining ingredients. Beat 2 minutes. Pour over pineapple.

Bake in moderate oven (375F) 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; turn upside down on serving plate.

Spread the word
