This recipe delivered excellent taste. However, as one of the other reviewers stated, the cornmeal/milk mixture was to stiff. I had to add more milk to raise the texture to a syrup.

Love pineapple upside down cake; it's always rich and delicious. But this one is too dense and too heavy. More like a cornbread with a bunch of sweet on top. Not for us.

Made this yesterday for a dinner party. Used light brown sugar, because that is what I had on hand. Used regular yellow organic cornmeal, not coarse grind. It was easy to put together and turned out pretty as a picture. Of course, it bubbled over and messed up the bottom of the oven, but that's my fault. I did add one tablespoon of pineapple syrup to the cake mixture and it lightened it just a bit. Great texture and taste, served with a little whipped cream.

This cake was sooooooo good! Someone had commented that it was not sweet enough... I think this was plenty sweet. Although (two things: 1 The cornmeal/milk mixture became very hard and cement like after 30 minutes and was kind of hard to mix into the egg mixture. 2 I used a 10" Lodge cast iron skillet, and the batter only barely fit (I put it over a cookie sheet while baking - some of the "juices" spilled out over onto the cookie sheet while baking. HOWEVER, this recipe turned out one of the most delicious pineapple cakes I have ever tasted. Well worth the effort!

Our family really did not like the texture of the coarse-ground cornmeal. If we make this again, we'll try a regular-grind cornmeal.

Also, I had to throw out my first batch because the brown sugar burned while I was trying to get it to caramelize. My fault...

I made this cake for my husband and he went wild over it. It was so easy to make and then I wanted a sauce for on the bottom of my plate to put the cake on, so I took the rest of the pineapple
some brown sugar,a little kayo syrup and some nuts put in the food processor and it was great. I put it in the fridge to get cold and put the sauce on the bottom of the plate and put the cake on top , now you talk about a good good cake, this is the best pineapple upside down cake I have ever made. I then made another for my daughters family and they went crazy over it. The kids don't like pineapple but they did on this cake. The cornbread was something totally different and gave it a great taste. I would recommend this cake to anyone. Its that good.

This is a word I try not to use too often but totally fits this cake: AWESOME. I've made it twice and would fully recommend it. It's pretty easy to make too.

this turned out great - made it for my father's birthday as it's his favorite. the use of the cornmeal enhanced the taste and the cast iron skillet worked perfectly.

This turned out perfectly. It was easy, it came out of the skillet with no trouble. The texture was good and the flavor wonderful. Some of my guests had two slices! This is going into my file, and my mom wants the recipe too.
