Syd insisted on the purchase of a rather splendid pineapple the other day. I am rather taken with it as an object and am now searching for the perfect ornamental version – but in the mean time the real one needed eating – so we went retro and made a Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

In an ideal world I would have gone all out retro and decorated with glacé cherries – but I didn’t have any so it will have to do as is. In a doubly ideal world I would have served it with a spiced rum cream, but I had no cream either, so I settled for a glass of rum on the side – nice and the added bonus of feeling like a pirate!

Pineapple is great, so tasty and healthy. I have never made an upside down Pineapple cake. Your looks great. I wouldn’t add the retro cherries however the spiced rum cream sounds superb. I may have to pinch your recipe, as I have Pineapple I need to use 😉 Thank you
