Chef Dennis’ Pineapple Cake

I’m trying hard to like cooked fruit. So when a neighbor brought me a whole pineapple, I knew a) I wouldn’t be able to eat it all and b) I don’t really love pineapple upside down cake. What’s an alternative?

Thanks to Google I was able to find Ask Chef Dennis… A blog with this fantastic recipe.

Pineapple cooking in a pan with melted butter.

My only modification was, instead of just powdered sugar, I made a glaze using 2 tablespoons of the cooled leftover pineapple juice butter, a squeeze of lemon juice, powdered sugar and just enough milk to thin to the right consistency.

Finished whole, single layer pineapple cake topped with a sugar glaze.

Thanks to Chef Dennis for this great alternative to pineapple upside down cake!
