LOL. Did you think this was an original idea? I've been doing it for
- maybe - 50 years. Only I use yellow cake mix, not lemon. Sometimes
I get crazy and make the cake from scratch, but not often.

You've got me beat by 10 years. The first time anybody makes this cake
is a revelation. It's a beautiful cake! I've been hooked since I flipped
that first one out. People think you're a master baker...

I like to use crushed pineapple - not as pretty but easier to cut. If
your pineapple moves out of place when you pour the batter on it, stick
the pan in the freezer for about 5 minutes to lock the toppings in
place. This also keeps the butter from mixing into the batter.

I use only crushed (drained) pineapple any more - much easier to work
with, I think. And nobody cares if it's got a spectacular design or
not, "Let's eat!" LOL.

You're just too practical. So am I. I like your idea of a shortcake
pineapple upside-down cake. I'll try making one of those soon.

No. In fact, I ran across it on youtube. I was pretty surprised it
was so easy. I always thought it WAS a scratch made cake. If Ida
known you can throw any ol' wht/yel box cake at it, Ida been doing it
fer 50 yrs, too.

BTW, I increased the orig recipe by half a cup on the brown sugar. I
LOVE brown sugar.

Yup, me, too (brown sugar). The good thing about a cake mix is that
there is always extra batter that you can make into cupcakes. ;-)

As for brown sugar, I always put more topping in my pecan roll pans
than the recipe calls for - that good, gooey brown sugar/butter
mixture is so tasty, it's hard to have too much of it - especially
since I'm allergic to tree nuts, the one pan of pecan rolls I can eat
never has pecans. ;-)

True that.

I discovered another thing about brown sugar. A good brand of brown
sugar like C&H is worth the extra cost. I had a sealed bag of house
brand brown sugar go rock hard in 3 mos and I hadn't even opened it.
C&H, OTOH, stayed soft and pliable after 8 mos, even after opening.

Not a problem if brown sugar goes hard. Just put it in a container with
a piece of bread. It will soften up in hours.

I rarely use BS but had to use some recently and my box was rock hard. I
just put the plastic bag into the MW for 30 secs or so until I could
scrape off enough to use. I guess the rest of it will be just harder to
use. I'll look for your brand.

My husband's oldest sister used to do a quickie upside down cake like
that, but I think she used Bisquick. I liked the texture a lot.

I love the one that uses bisquick. Does anyone have that recipe? I
think it is a combination of Bisquick and flour.

9 cup Flour
1/3 cup Baking powder

Thanks, but I was looking for the pineapple upside down cake recipe that
uses a combination of Bisquick mix and flour along with the usual fat
and liquids. I'll Google for it.

Thanks, O! One of my friends loved a coconut pie that was made with
bisquick, the pie makes its own crust. He passed away and I have not
made it since.

Becca

Coconut Custard Pie with Bisquick

4 eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup bisquick
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 cup flaked coconut

Mix first 3 ingredients together, then add the rest. Mix well and pour
into greased 9" glass pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

Makes its own crust, custard filling in the center and browned coconut
on top. Test with knife in the center, if it comes out clean, it is
done. Cool on wire rack.

Bisquick already has flour - why would you add more? It's probably
more like a shortcake recipe, which is on the Bisquick box, actually.
I like to make "pizza" with the Bisquick biscuit recipe and put it in
a jelly roll pan - it makes a really quick meal for kids - I used to
do it quite often when my boys were little.

You can use the standard Bisquick coffee cake recipe for this:

2C Bisquick
2T Sugar
2/3C Milk
1 Egg

I can't say how much pineapple, butter, and brown sugar you should use
because I don't measure that out. I used a 9" round pan and cooked at
350F until done. It came out fine but a little plain. Maybe I should use
cherries. :-)

My guess is that you could get it more like a shortcake by leaving out
the egg and adjusting the milk. That's for next time, I guess.

Another idea is to just mix in the crushed pineapple into the batter and
top it with the standard Bisquick coffee cake topping. Next time.

Thanks. I found that one myself. What I'm looking for is a recipe that
uses *both* bisquick and regular flour. It comes out slightly dense but
not as coffee-cake-like as the recipe using all bisquick. I have a
feeling the lady who made it the way I like it invented her recipe.
Whatever it is she consistently refuses to share the recipe.

I am disappointed with Betty Crocker that she<?> would use a recipe that
calls for Bisquick. A little flour, salt, sugar, shortening, baking soda
and egg. It can't take that much longer than these quick methods. Sorry,
but I love pineapple upside down cake and just can't live with an
inferior product when the original is easy enough to begin with.

Bisquick is a Betty Crocker <which is a company, not a real person>
product, that's why.

You do know that General Mills made Betty up, right? And that they
also own bisquick?

I don't think it is *just* the convenience. I have tried to make
the perfect cheddar garlic drop biscuits with several recipes. So
far the best-- by far-- is [roughly] the one on the box of Bisquick.
We also use it for waffles & a couple other recipes.

There is something about the texture/flavor of Bisquick that I haven't
been able to replicate.

I haven't had it in a long time-- but if you post your recipe I
promise I'll try it both ways.<g>

I make mine the same way except I use a yellow cake mix. And, for the
liquid added to the cake mix, I use the pineapple juice (strained from
the pineapple). Makes the cake moist and very tasty.

Yes to the incorporated pineapple juice. I assumed everyone could
figure that one out on their own. The only reason I used lemon cake
mix is cuz that's what was in the house. Actually, it works out
nicely.

Who said you can't use regular cake mix? Of course you can. What a
silly thing to say.

Those are the nut jobs who never made a pineapple upside down cake...
the type of cake matters not a whit... there is no particular standard
recipe, there are as many variations as those who make pineapple
upsidedown cake... can be rectangular, square, round, even cupcakes...
I even once made jellyrolls filled with brown sugar and toasted
coconut, cut pinwheels and topped each with a sauteed in butter
pineapple ring, ice cream, whipped cream, coconut, and a cherry... I
was commissioned, actually ordered, to prepare dinner for an Admiral's
daughter's graduation from law school and that was dessert.

O.k., so it's one of those old-time cakes that were made from
all-purpose flour. I like the denser cakes -- those are the only kind
I make.
