Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Not one, not two, but three recipes back to back this week!!! I’m on a roll! lol You know I couldn’t let National Pineapple Upside Down Cake Day pass me by! Pineapples make me happy. They’re really my favorite food. Ever. And this cake is super easy! Making it in my cast iron skillet was a breeze!

Easy right?? And so delicious!

Whipping and incorporating the egg whites into the batter separately from the yolks makes a huge difference in the texture of this cake!

I’m loving these sweet food holidays.
