Super moist and fluffy, pineapple upside-down cake is a comforting and festive one-layer dessert. The combination of yellow cake mix, pineapple, brown sugar, and cherries keeps the cake wonderfully tender and flavorful. After baking, the cake is flipped, and the caramelized fruit becomes the stunning, glossy topping. The sweet syrup created while baking infuses the cake with extra flavor, making it as impressive as it is easy to make. With just 15 minutes of prep, it's easy to enjoy pineapple upside-down cake.
This classic recipe has been loved for nearly 70 years. It was first introduced in Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book in 1956 as a scratch cake. In 2000 we updated it to use Betty Crocker’s Super Moist Cake Mix where it debuted in the Ultimate Cake Mix Cookbook. Pineapple upside-down cake is as versatile as it is delicious and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether served at a cozy brunch, a baby shower, or as the centerpiece of a celebration, this cheery dessert is sure to add joy to any moment.
If you’re looking for a new favorite Christmas cookie, we’ve got you covered with this old fashioned spritz cookies recipe.
The word “spritz” comes from the German word spritzen which means “to squirt.” This refers to squirting or pushing the buttery cookie dough through a cookie press.
A cookie press typically comes with several different metal plates, which means it’s ultra-easy to create many different designs with one easy to prepare cookie dough. This makes our recipe the perfect choice for anyone who wants to add more variety to their Christmas cookie trays.
One of the many reasons spritz cookies have become a Christmas staple is how easy it is for kids to join in on the fun. Your little elves can help at every step of the way. After making the easy to prep dough they can create an array of shapes from Christmas trees, to festive snowflakes, or even bells with an easy-to-use cookie press. These cookies are so much fun to make that your family will be requesting them every holiday season.
