How to make it

  • Mix butter, brown sugar and undrained pineapple in a 9 inch iron skillet on top of stove
  • Heat until butter is melted
  • Stir around
  • Remove skillet to side until cake is mixed
  • In bowl, whisk eggs until blended well
  • Add sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, to eggs, whisk
  • Add hot water, whisk until blended
  • Pour this mixture over pineapple mixture in iron skillet
  • DON'T WORRY about the pineapple layer coming up the sides when you pour the cake mixture on top
  • Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes
  • Let cool a few minutes,.... then
  • YOU GUESSED IT! turn cake * upside down * onto serving plate.
  • Let cool a few more minutes, so that it will be real gooey!
  • Your mouth will water, but please be patient and wait :)
  • Meanwhile you may want to scrape what did not come out of pan, and you can either eat it, or spoon is on the cake! :)
  • NOTE: I have added pineapple rings, and a +little+ of the pineapple juice, rather than, crushed pineapple, undrained. I have also added whole maraschino cherries in the hole of the arranged pineapple slices.....makes a pretty cake. May add pecans also.
  • ENJOY, ENJOY!!
