After the post of Tersie's Birthday Dinner, I had a few request for my Pineapple Up~Side Down Cake recipe. It is a recipe that is quick to make and I understand it is a wonderfully tasty cake. I mustered up all of the will power I could find and fought off my sweet tooth temptations and didn't even taste the finished product. A note of caution here...... This is not a diabetic friendly recipe. ~Enjoy
