Do NOT Lick Your Screen
What have we here?
It’s cake…a Pineapple Upside Down Cake baked in a genu-wine cast iron pan, y’all!
Starts looking ordinary, like this (ho-hum):
But, if you do it right, turns out all gooey and caramel-y and pineapple-y, like this:
My B-I-L, one of the outlaws (as I count myself), did the nicest thing for me. So, of course I wanted to thank him in a very Patti-esque way. It was either bake his fav-or-rite cake or write him a poem. I think I made the right choice.
This is a new recipe, one I took from the Smitten Kitchen’s stash. If the cake tastes anything like the creamy light batter (WITH RUM!) I licked from the spoon, if the cake tastes anything like the deliriously sinful caramel-based bottom the pineapples rest in, if the cake tastes anything like the heavenly smell emanating from the kitchen RIGHT NOW, then this cake will be a new tradition.
I hope it’s the best Pineapple Upside Down Cake B-I-L has ever had. Because one good deed deserves another.
If you've never used a cast iron skillet, I can testify to their all around usefulness. Mine will be handed down one day...it's that good.

Happy Baking, my babies!
P.S. Do you guys think it’s hokey to bake as a thank you? Do you think I should have gone with the poem?
oh wait, the recipe i got was more like this... angelfood cake mix. make with half oil half rum or something like that. dump over pineapple, butter, and brown sugar in pan. bam.
no.no.no. i'm telling you, THIS RECIPE. One of the BEST batters I've ever licked off my fingers AND BIL said it was hands down the best pineapple upside down cake he's ever had.
well, that was kind of pushy of me....lol!
I had no idea you could make this in a cast iron skillet! (Too bad I already licked my screen, darn it.)
I'd love if you'd come join my How To Tuesday link party, too.
It's so good! Now, stop licking your screen...
Oh, I'm sure you made the correct choice!! This looks delish!!
We are hosting our link party and would like to invite you to link up with us. The party goes live tonight. http://www.thebusybhive.blogspot.com/ Hope to see you there.
Thanks!

Myrna and Joye.
Thanks! BIL thought so too!
Wow! I am drooling!
I would LOVE it if you shared this in my Spring/Easter Linky Party! You can find it here: http://littlemomprairie.blogspot.com/p/blog-round-up.html
Mmmmmm....
Okay, if I give you my address will you send me some? 😉 Thanks for sharing at The Gunny Sack!
well, I would definitely need something in return, say a giant box of Gummie Rattlesnakezzz.
How did I never comment on this yet? I have been keeping it in my mind for my husband's birthday, and it took a while to find....
That's weird, because it has been on my mind too and I'm going to make it soon as well.
Also, for future reference, you can use the search bar for easy finding of all things lickable!
LoL this is the third computer that has suffered me licking the screen....I found the search bar cleverly concealed as....a search bar....::blush::
