This is a Cake Doctor recipe that I've made at least 20 times and is loved by everyone. I use 2 more tablespoons of butter than the recipe calls for in the brown sugar topping. This is a fantastic pineapple upside-down cake and is nice for a crowd because it make a bigger cake than some recipes (a 13" x 9"). You can also used drained pineapple slices instead of the crushed for a prettier presentation.
