My Mom used to make it with a pecan half in the middle. I wonder if it was regional or if Mom just liked pecans better than cherries?

I like pecans better than those day-glo red cherries, but I want to be authentic....

dar512 · 10-05-2009, 01:38 PM

I dunno which is more authentic, but evidently my mom was not the only one to put pecans on it.

I would use both.

NO nuts in pineapple upside down cake.
It's in Leviticus or something.

BTW remember Mon - you didn't bake it if you don't provide a photo.

monster · 10-06-2009, 09:33 AM

that's OK, if I didn't bake it, I don't have to share

You should probably make some tuna casserole, three bean salad, and Waldorf salad too. And mimosas or Manhattans to drink.

monster · 10-06-2009, 03:30 PM

or not. Cake is enough. i have cherries, i have pineapple rings......

skysidhe · 10-06-2009, 05:54 PM

I hope I am not too late. I want to mention to make the cake the same day you serve it. The cake gets mushy around the pineapple the next day. Pecans won't.

I'm hearing that Merkin and Brit pineapple upside down cake are different. Well tough, she's getting the Brit version

and it's possibly getting made tonight, but the brit version has a syrupy bit round the pineapples, so soggy is not so much of an issue, but thanks, I will keep it in mind.

Can't you just open a few packs of Twinkies?

monster · 10-06-2009, 07:01 PM

No. That word has rude connotations. i will never eat a twinkie. NEVER

When I make pineapple upside down cake, it's basically just a teacake with pineapple rings on the bottom of the cake pan and then brown sugar sprinkled over before the cake batter is poured in.

I've never used cherries before, but now that it's come up, I think i'll do that next time.

I love waldorf salad. Yummo!

I guess I really am a child of the 70's.
