Delicious Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I substitute butter for margarine and used one can of large pineapple chunks instead of pineapple rings and arranged chunks in circular fashion. Also used a 9 inch round cake pan and it turned out fabola. Hubby and daughter Sarah enjoyed it. I will make this beautiful cake again. Thank you for posting CookingMonster.

This recipe turned out very good. The sugars and butter didn't caramize as brown as I wanted. Stuck it under the broiler for a few seconds! Flavor was perfect and the cake was moist and heavy like a pound cake! Great recipe!
