Wonderful pineapple upside down cake. I made this as written except I used all pineapple juice, for more flavor and omitted the pecans as I am the only one in family that cares for them. I used a 10 inch cast iron skillet and at about 20 mins into baking I starting smelling the cake very strongly so at 25 minutes I checked the cake, with toothpick test and it was done. The top was deep golden color but the cake was nice and moist still. I love that cake is homemade rather than a yellow cake mix. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2010.

I have been cooking since I was able to reach the counter, cooking my first meal at the age of 10. My mother and grandmother taught me the southern ways. I don't measure much (neither did they) so if you try my recipes, take that into consideration.
I am a three time cancer survivor and hope to finally get my recipes together in one spot for family and friends before my luck runs out. Hope you and your family enjoys them as much as mine has.
