My husbands favorite cake is pineapple upside down cake and I never make it so for Valentine’s Day I decided to make him one. I found this recipe on No Biggie and he loved it!
This recipe uses fresh pineapple instead of canned pineapple…makes all the difference in the world!
The batter covers up all the delicious goodness of fresh pineapple and brown sugar and butter.
So moist and delicious!
A little black and white with pink for Valentines Day 🙂
Hope yours was filled with lots of sweet surprises!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Yum! Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is my hubby's favorite, too, and I make it at least once a year on his birthday. I prefer to use white cake mix instead of yellow, but I've never tried using fresh pineapple. Hopefully I can remember that next January when his birthday rolls around again! :-) Thanks for sharing your recipe.
