CL had this one a couple of weeks ago:

Upside-down Pineapple-Spice Cake


4 teaspoons stick butter
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
7 (1/2-inch) slices fresh pineapple
1/4 cup stick butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
1-1/4 cups sifted cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup fat-free milk
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1-1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract


1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Melt 4 teaspoons butter in a 10-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet. Add orange juice and brown sugar; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Arrange pineapple slices in a single layer over brown sugar mixture; set aside.

3. Beat 1/4 cup butter, granulated sugar, honey, and egg with mixer at medium speed until thick and fluffy. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through nutmeg) in a bowl. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat well after each addition. Stir in rind and vanilla. Pour batter over pineapple slices.

4. Bake cake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack. Loosen cake from sides of pan using a narrow metal spatula. Invert onto a cake plate, and cut into wedges. Serve warm. Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge).

Well, I don't use a recipe, for me this is just a "do".

Tami's Quickie Pineapple Upsidedown Cake

1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp corn syrup
~~~~~
2 cans pineapple rings, drain and save the liquid (you will have extra rings, but only 10 come per can and I like to use 12, they just fit in the pan perfectly!)
~~~~~
1 French Vanilla Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker cake mix
4 eggs, large size
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup of the saved pineapple juice

Preheat oven to 350.

In a 9x13 cake pan, combine the corn syrup, brown sugar and cube the butter. Place in the oven until the brown sugar is soft and the butter is melted. Remove from the oven and stir to combine completely, then spread over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the pineapple slices in 3 rows of 4 (this makes 12 easy servings), set aside.

Make the mix by combining the eggs, oil and juice/water in a mixing bowl, add the cake mix on the top and stir until moistened. Beat on a low/medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour cake over the slices and bake.

Bake until done, about 30+ minutes. Test the same way with any other cake, touch the center and when it springs back easily it is done. Remove from the oven and set for 7 minutes. Then turn onto your serving plate or platter and the brown sugar/pineapple slices are on the top. Serve after it has cooled completely.

12 servings

For decoration, you can add a half maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
