"This recipe for the best pineapple upside down cake can be made in a regular cake pan, or like I did here, in a cast iron skillet. This is the same recipe I have used for over 30 years, but started baking it in a cast iron skillet a decade ago. Making this cake in a cast iron skillet develops a caramel crusty topping from the brown sugar and butter and is considerably better than the crust that develops in a standard baking pan."

NotesThis recipe makes TWO skillet cakes!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 cup butter
  • 3 cups milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butter

Instruction

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and center rack in the oven. I used only one 9-inch skillet to make both cakes by doing one at a time. Simply wipe out your skillet after removing the cake and start over. If you have 2 skillets, even better, make them both at the same time by staggering the pans in the oven.

  2. Prepare the topping first by placing 1/4 cup butter in cast iron skillet. Place skillet in the oven until the butter has melted, this only takes a few minutes.
