Pineapple cake was something that my husband had requested from me and was longing to eat, for a long, long time. Maybe that statement would make me seem like I’m not the best wife. However, he definitely knows that I’m not much of a baker…so I kind of ignored his sentiment.
Last month when I saw Vivianne’s Pineapple Upside-down Cake recipe on her blog Green Cilantro, I knew the time has come! My husband was really excited when I told him about my attempt. He even came to check on how I was doing in the kitchen several times (or maybe he was worried about his cake). Despite a few moments of “panic” mode (details are in the recipe instruction), I think I did really well. I am not a baker, but I do have a sweet tooth and have ate more than my share of sweets. The cake turned out to be delicious. Vivianne did not include all the caramel syrup in her recipe being worried that it might be too sweet, but I actually pour it all in. It was not as sweet as I thought it was going to be. My husband and children loved it as well and requested to have dessert after every meal as long as there are still pieces of the cake left. If you are not a baker like me, I would say this is “doable” for a beginner baker. Just read about my panic moment below so you won’t panic like me. 😉 Enjoy!
