Pineapple Upside Down Cake


Pineapple upside down cake is a favourite in our household. This recipe calls for fresh pineapples or canned pineapple rings. I didn't have either so I pineapple tidbits instead. It tasted great. Serve with whipping cream or ice cream for a special treat.

This recipe calls for buttermilk. If you don't have buttermilk simple stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into 3/4 cup milk and let stand for 10 minutes.

1/4 cup melted butter
