If I could give it more, I would! Of course, I made some modifications as I can't just leave well enough alone. Here is what I did... Regular yellow cake instead of the pineapple cake (cheaper) Fage 0 Greek yogurt instead of the oil (lower fat and creamier consistency)
Yum yum yum! Thanks Elaine for this recipe! A keeper for sure!

This is a good cake but you can taste the imitation pineapple in the duncan hines mix. It really bothered me. Seems counterproductive... why not just use yellow cake mix and use pineapple juice instead of the water? I'm not saying the cake wasn't good, but that imitation pineapple flavor was annoying. It reminds me of sonic slushy or snow cone flavoring or something. But very moist, only my husband and I could taste the fake pineapple flavoring bc we have been enjoying a fresh pineapple cake recently from the store and were hoping to have a recipe of our own.

This is very good, I made the recipe exactly the same except after you lay down the pineapple rings, I also added crushed pineapple all around the rings to fill in the open spaces. I added the cherries to the ring and all around the crushed pineapple. Then I continued with the steps in the recipe. Turned out very good and really moist, I added a picture of the finished cake.

Oh my goodness, this is the most moist and delicious pineapple upside down cake I've ever had. I baked it for our 4th of July party, and everyone who tried it loved it. I substituted applesauce for the canola oil, and you would never know. My husband said it was his favorite pineapple upside down cake that I've made.

It baked up beautiful...very moist. This was my first P.U.D. cake. I don't think I could find a recipe to top this one, however, I do think that next time I make this, I may use more brown sugar, and use crushed pineapple. nothing to change the flavor, but crushed pineapple may be more "fork friendly" Thanks for sharing. this was the first recipe that I tried, and shall be the only one in my recipe books!!

Yep! It's that good. I went with the crushed pineapple, pecans and no "extra" topping. It isn't overly sweet and soooooo moist. I had DH flip the cake onto the serving tray and waited anxiously as he removed the pan. There wasn't even in topping stuck in the pan, it all stayed beautifully on the cake. Thank you. This is definitely a keeper.

I was looking for the classic pineapple upside down cake I remember from childhood. Sorry - but I thought the pineapple cake mix made this too sweet. May try again using regular yellow cake mix.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My mother made the best Pineapple Upside Down cake from scratch, and it was so darn moist and delicious, people would actually pay her to make it for them. She passed the recipe on to me before her passing, and it became one of my most requested recipes after I married and baked it for my family and friends. I rcently lost her recipe in a move, and have searched everywhere for a close replacement. I just couldn't find it until now. Since mom used crushed pineapple instead of slices, I tried it with your recipe and also doubled the topping recipe. My husband thought I had found my moms recipe, so I knew I had a winner. Again, thank you.

Wow!! Moist, flavorful, delicious! I made 2 9 inch cakes using light butter, half the brown sugar and sugar free pudding.. amazing! I am bringing one home for Father's Day and I know it will be a hit!

I can't rate this cake because I made it for a fund raiser at my DD's school. I need to add some advise to others doing this recipe. If the cake mix already has pudding in the mix don't add the other pkg. in the recipe. I did and I had some trouble getting it to bake. I also put it in a 2 quart round glass dish( I was thinking it would look better.). Don't was DARK brown sugar mind did not look as nice as the photo. It took 75 minutes to cook and this only happened after it spilled over the top and into the oven. I did in the end get a very nice cake for the fund raiser. And I can't wait to try this for the family, it was avery good learning experiance.

This recipe makes and really delicious cake! It was featherlight and very, very moist. I did beat it longer than 2 minutes (I didn't quite have my act together). I baked it in a 9x13 glass dish that was sprayed with Pam and I didn't have any problem with getting it out of the pan. It makes a very impressive and pretty cake. Thanks for a great recipe!

Great cake. I used a yellow cake mix and cooked in two round pans for 40 minutes.

We enjoyed this cake very much for Easter dinner. Have to say I couldn't find pineapple cake mix so happily went with a yellow cake. We loved the moistness of this cake. It is definitely a keeper.

This was delicious! I used a powdered vegan egg substitute and also used 1/2 cup of pina colada flavored coconut milk yogurt in place of the oil. I agree with some other reviews that it had kind of a fake pinapple flavor though. I think the cake recipe would be awesome though in different juice/box mix combinations!

This is fabulous! I made this and we loved it. It is so moist and flavorful. We left our cherries whole and added a few more on top! Thank you for a delicious dessert that we are sure to repeat!

I thought the cake tasted good, but the consistency was more like cheesecake. Yummy, but not traditional. I used Sarah Lee mix & didn't find artificial taste on it. I also used cubed (diced) Dole pineapple instead & the cake looked awesome with the cobblesoned top dotted with cherries! I cut the cubes in half to have enough for a 10" cake pan & to make them less "thick".

This is very easy to throw together and makes a very nice moist cake. I tried it out because I found a Pineapple cake mix and had never seen one before. I also had a case of fresh pineapples because we just got back from HI, so thought this would be perfect. It was good, but ultimately for me, I don't think I care for the fake pineapple taste of the boxed mix. Next time I will make a cake from scratch and just use the brown sugar/pineapple topping as it was wonderful.
