However, what kind of skillet are you using? Is it a seasoned, cast iron pan? If so, it should slide out easily then. Otherwise, yes, you might have to use a knife and spatula to slip around the edge of the pan to loosen the cake. If you only get the cake part out, you can try to scoop out the pineapple top and artfully arrange it back on top. Hope that helps!

What might help keep it from turning into pineapple pudding (might have to dish it up into a bowl!)? HELP!!! My pineapple upside down cake is not coming out of the skillet. What might help keep it from turning into pineapple pudding (might have to dish it up into a bowl!)?

I doubled the cake batter recipe and made two (metal) 9-inch cake rounds. I wish I would have looked more carefully at the picture and gone with more pineapple than I did (and arranged it in a prettier fashion), but overall it turned out very well. I put the leftover smear in a saucepan and let it simmer for about 3 mins until it was caramelizing. I went ahead and topped the two cakes with this since I really didn't want to save the little that was left for another day. The cake tastes light and fluffy with a browned, thin crust. Delicious!

After a success with the recipe as written, being adventurous, I tried it with cantaloupe instead of pineapple. Must say, it worked out great. moist and mellon-y. I'm thinking blackberries may be next.... I made it using a metal pan, and had no issues, though a silicone pan is on my wish-list.

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.
