    I saw the episode and was wowed by the appearance and sound of Bobby's cake. However after making it, I felt like the texture was great but 3 Tablespoons of Rum where overkill. I make an awesome Birthday cake that has rum and I love it but for a pineapple cake the rum overpowered the pineapple flavor.

    The cake was delicious! However, the recipe was challenging. Would have appreciated time approximations for roasting the pineapple, cooking the sugar/water to caramel and for the reductions of the sauce. Also, if I hadn't read the reviews, I wouldn't have know not to stir the sugar/water mixture!

    I have yet to make both of them, but you can find the Brass Sisters' recipe on Google very easily. Just use brass sisters pineapple upside down cake as a search term. The first link has a printer-friendly version.

    I am using fresh pineapple in both when I make them - will check back in and let you know which is best!

    We loved it! Made it for a friend and am making it tomorrow for my mother in law's birthday. It's not traditional, the cornmeal cake is an obvious detour, but the moistness of the cake definites identifies it as a CAKE, not a muffin.

    Also, it tipped from my cast iron beautifully. I will probably make a double batch of the caramel just for a drizzle option upon service.

    The only drawback is that not all of the measurements are in traditional cup fractions, so weighing the ingredients and calculations should be done ahead of time.

    Remember, DON'T STIR YOUR SUGAR/WATER mixture. Sounds like some people don't know this tip.

    Well no duh your caramel sauce was a flop, everyone knows that when working with candy syrups that the sugars can recrystallize when agitated. If you keep having that problem, do it with some light corn syrup mixed in.

    I watched this Throwdown and I made this recipe but I had made caramel before so I knew not to stir but I'd really like to have the Brass Sister's Recipe because if you remember, they put butter and brown sugar on the bottom of the pan. That being said, I don't remember much more. Bobby's recipe is good and it was a nice change from regular cakes.
    I love the throwdowns because I get great ideas from them.
    Love, Love, Love Bobby Flay!

    I gave this recipe 1 star because this receipe failed to mention when making the carmel sauce you ARE NOT TO STIR the water and sugar. After my first attempt was a TOTAL FLOP - I went back on FN and searched carmel sauce and came up with a receipe from Ina Garden that read as follows:

    Mix the water and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. DO NOT STIR. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown (about 350 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful ? the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture very carefully at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. Don't worry - the cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify.

    Maybe Bobby should remember that all of us are NOT Professional cooks and this little bit of info would have been helpful to know prior to making it =/
