Pineapple Upside-Down Cake is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 9.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious This is an excellent recipe. I actually made it twice—the first time as written, and the second using an 8” square Pyrex baking dish and reducing the Truvia by 2 Tbsp in the butter layer, and 2 Tbsp in the cake portion. It was still plenty sweet. The second time I also used crushed pineapple, drained, as I was out of rings, and mixed the extra crushed pineapple, drained, into Cool Whip for a quick topping. My husband is diabetic and he loved the dessert, especially after I reduced the sweetness a little bit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Delicious, but could be made a little bigger This is quite delicious. The Truvia brown sugar blend is just as good as light brown sugar, in my opinion, and so is the Truvia baking blend compared to white sugar. The only thing I'll do differently next time is to use a 9" cake pan with 2" sides instead of an 8" pan. The cake is very moist and lovely, but I would rather have it slightly shorter and bake for a slightly shorter amount of time. Plus, the recipe says to use 7 rings of pineapple. 7 rings does not fit in my 8" pan. Only 5 do. They would fit in a 9" pan. I think all of the other ingredient amounts could stay the same in a 9" pan. As for the recipe, I would combine the dry ingredients with the dry and the wet ingredients with the wet and then add them together. The way the recipe is written a person might add all together at once in no reasonable order. I think that would be a mistake.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from different oil looking for a different oil to use. has anyone used anything but canola. I have read so many bad things about it. I mostly use olive oil for everything else but have not baked in years because I have no one to bake for and don't need all this for just myself. first time making it with stevia or truvia. I really don't like using man made chemicals but there isn't much option out there if you want to make a cake now and again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from A nice change from the other brands Switching from sugar to Truvia has been eye opening! This cake for example, tastes just as good without all of that white sugar! I'm impressed with how easy it is to substitute Truvia thanks to the conversion chart they have. It's too simple not too eat better. My husband has a history of diabetes in his family, but enjoys his sweets very much. I can use the Truvia as my little hidden gem and he is none the wiser..... :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brown's Ivar blend and Baking blend We tried this a month ago and found this slimmed down version just as good as the regular receipe. In fact not telling my husband he couldn't tell the difference, still my secret. He's diabetic and is trying to loose weight but still has to have a little desert after dinner. Will be trying others out too!
