    I have tried at least 8 other recipes, this is the best one.

    I find, out of all the chef's I have tried, Emeril's recipes are always good. His NY Cheesecake is also the best.

    What a good cake! Moist and flavorful. I've never put rum in my PUDC before. I substituted 1 1/2 tsp of rum extract and it was GOOD! Thanks for another good recipe, Emeril.

    THis was my first time making a pineapple upside down cake. It was awesome. I used canned pineapple chunks on top and marichino cherries. Very moist light fluffy and the flavor is excellent! I used heavy whipping cream and made my own buttermilk. Really gives it a good flavor.

    Yum. Eating it as I type and it's delicious. First time I have ever made pineapple upside down cake. I followed the directions exactly except for using fresh fruit as it's the wrong time of year. Tinned pineapple rings and maraschino cherries worked just fine. For those people having trouble with the butter measurements, if you read the ingredient list again, you'll see that it's correct. Butter is packaged differently in some countries but Emeril is referring to the sticks in a one pound package of butter (4 sticks @ 1/4 pound/one half cup each stick. So 1.5 sticks equals 3/4 of a cup.
    I'm off to cut me a second piece! Mmmmm, good.

    My family has been making Pineapple Upside Down Cake for Christmas for generations. This is the best recipe I've ever used. Even better than my great grandmother's!

    it pays to scroll through some of the comments. i'd like to thank previous commenters because it helped me with this recipe. first, i do not have a cast iron skillet and i took a commenter's suggestion to make the brown sugar/pineapple glaze in a skillet and transferred it easily to a cake pan. second, another commenter is correct that the ingredient listing for butter and the recipe directions conflict. based on a third commenter's notes that her cake tasted too buttery, i used 1/2 stick butter for the brown sugar glaze and the remaining 1/2 stick for the cake portion. that makes 1 cup butter total.

    the cake was very light and tasty; a big hit with my husband. i'll make this again.
