Vanishing Pineapple Upside-down Cake Recipe


Vanishing Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Recipe
This cake has won our Boy Scout Camporee "Golden Spoon" Dutch Oven contest for the last two years - and there are never left-overs. It's really rich so serve small slices or have a glass of milk handy.

Great post high6 recipe thanks


Fun and tasty looking recipe. Question: do you LINE the inside of the oven with foil or WRAP the outside? I think it's the first but wanted to be sure. Thanks for posting!
