Charlie’s Mom: Glad you got a silicone pan. It definitely makes baking this cake a breeze. I, too, like how this dessert isn’t sugary sweet. Made it again for a dinner party last week, and it was an all-around hit.

I didn’t have a silicone cake pan and was trying to get away with using a spingform pan. It leaked and lost some liquid, I had to put a baking sheet under it to stop the mess but the cake turned out great still, not very sweet, very fruity and buttery. Now that I know I will be making this again and again I went and got the proper tool and it worked awesome.

I’ve never made pineapple upside-down cake either; this looks like a great recipe to start. I’ve hesitated to buy silicone pans, worried how they might affect browning and texture of baked goods but they seem so easy to use. Hmmm . . . can I use this recipe as an excuse to buy the pan? “But Thomas Keller uses it . . . !”

Gosh, I think I’m on the same wavelength as you, Carolyn. I just made my first upside down cake for a 4th of July BBQ a few days ago. Now, reading your post, I couldn’t agree with you more. Not too hard to make, but such an impressive result. Yours looks delicious! High five!
