I made this for PAC Spring '09. I didn't use the 1 cup pecans because my husband doesn't like them. This is very good similar in taste tp pineapple upside down cake but easier to make.

Very moist, delicious sheet cake. Since it is baked on a jelly roll pan (mine is 15" x 10"), servings are thin which helps to lessen the guilt! Will definitely bake again. Thanks!

OH MY!! This is very good. I added a cup of flaked coconut to the topping since this recipe is similar to another one I have, and I was curious to see how it would turn out. It was a huge hit at work.

Oh my goodness!!! This is absolutely delicious!!! I love pineapple upside down cake so I thought this sounded very interesting. It was so simple to make and quick!! I will definetly be making this again. I think I might try cutting back alot on the sugar in the cake itself, and increase the brown sugar a bit for a slightly healthier dessert. Thanks so much for posting such a wonderful recipe "Olive".
