One of my favorite recipes...size of the cast iron pan matters...but always a crowd pleaser.

Interesting cake and recipe. First bite is great, but it's too much like an over-the-top super sweet cornbread. Texture was better than expected. It wasn't gritty yet had a distinctly cornbread taste. If you like that, then this is your cake. Not for me.

I grew up making PA upside down cake with bisquick, but didnt' have any, so made this and it was very good. A little different with the cornmeal but easy and deliscious. Reminds me of Cornbread with honey and butter. If you don't like cornbread then don't try this. yes I would make again.

I only gave it a 3 because it really does have a cornbread & heavy grain texture. My hubby who is from the south loves corn bread & said this is not a cake. I have to say that the topping was so delicious & using the cast iron it cooked to look beautiful & came out of the pan with ease. If you are looking for a lite cake, this is not it! If you LOVE cornbread & texture this is for you! I also think serving it after you plate it is the best time, as it gets dry like cornbread does. I added the pineapple juice that was left over to the batter after I drizzled it over the nuts. All I can say is I love the topping & will use that again, at least try it you may love it as it is, for me looking for cake recipe to use on this topping! Good Luck!

This is an excellent Pineapple Upside down recipe. But, I always put the reserved pineapple juice into the batter, "Muchos Gooder!" I also just chop the pecans in half. Won't find a better cake. One more thing. Instead of using a frypan, I use a ten inch stainless steel pie pan

This recipe is very easy and a lot of fun to make! The end result is both impressive and very tasty! However, the texture of this cake is very different from a regular yellow or chocolate cake. It's not grainy. It just has more texture that you might expect. That being said, I think it's a great recipe. Next time I make it, I might add some well-drained crushed pineapple to the cake batter to make it more moist. Overall, another great recipe from Alton Brown. Thanks!

I used fresh pineapple and chopped it, only had skim milk and regular brown sugar but it was still great! Didn't think it was gritty ~ we love cornbread and this is a great addition to a traditional cake. Will make it again soon!
