  1. 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.

I live in Chandler, Arizona, which is near Phoenix. I have been a registered nurse for almost 25 years. Currently I am a clinical supervisor at a health care clinic. I love to cook rich foods with complex flavors, whether they be main dishes or desserts. I have also been eating low carb for about 5 years, so I am pretty good at modifying recipes to match my lifestyle.
