    I registered just to comment on this recipe; I wish I had real ALL the reviews;I'm confused by the great reviews because I had the exact same results as many of the previous disastrous reviews that unfortunately didn't appear on the first page. There is too much batter -- at least 1/3 spilled over; it made such a mess! [better judgement says never to fill a cake pan to the rim but I was trusting the recipe.] This in turn contributed to it not setting up in an hour, thus the top was cooked but the interior was not. the cake mostly set-up after another 1/2 hour. When it was inverted onto a cake plate the center sagged deep into the center of the cake and it is incredibly soggy. Is it possible that there was too much caramel as well? Perhaps fresh pineapples release more juice? Maybe the rings were too thick?

    So much for desert for Mother's Day brunch tomorrow morning

    Otherwise, the flavor is fantastic. We scooped some of the pineapple-caramel-cake goop onto vanilla ice cream -- delicious but not what I was going for. Now I just need to get a new oven.

    I followed the recipe exactly, but I used leftover orange honey butter from his scone recipe to make the caramel. I used my springform pan and filled it 1/2 way with the batter and had enough left over to fill 4 jumbo cupcake tins. My cake came out perfectly, it didn't cave in the middle like other people's. It did rise to the top of the pan, but nothing spilled over. I also put wax paper on the bottom. The cake is delicious, sweet and crunchy on the bottom, and the caramel is just delicious! I am going to use this recipe again, as cupcakes and I'm going to play with different flavors as he uses this batter as a base for all of his cakes. Loved it!

    This recipe is AMAZING!! I read the reviews and was on the fence, but decided to give it a go anyways. I put the cake in a glass 9X13 that was 2 inches deep. I left all the ingredients as written, kept the cook time at one hour, and flipped it at one minute. It turned out fabulous and my oven was clean. The top (the bottom after flipping was crispy, the cake dense and moist and cooked all the way through. My caramel was gooey but smooth. The fresh pineapple really makes it, in my opinion. Don't be hesitant because of the reviews--try it for yourself!

    Tyler said that this was his go to cake for all occasions. We made it three times in a row as a layer cake. The cake rose on the sides and did not rise in the middle.
    DISASTER.

    This recipe tasted really good but it did not set up for me. I baked it for an hour and it was still jiggled in the middle but i couldn't bake it any longer because it started to burn. I was very disappointed :(

    This was awful. I followed the recipe EXACTLY, and I not only ended up having to throw away a mess that was liquid and in no way resembled a cake but i also had to clean my oven. I can still smell the smoke in my house today. This cake overflow onto my cookie sheet underneath it where it left a horrid mess. Do not make this recipe there has got to be a better one then this somewhere out there.
