How about a desert thread

[TestRocket]

Ok it's well past my post on Tuesday Nov. 20 but I still had the ingredients and the hanker'n for some pineapple upside down cake and today was the chance to get'er done!

I did the recipe as listed above and on the cake mix box. The only was different was at the 35 minute mark the cake moved like Jell-O as I checked on it...back in for 5 minutes and still the same. Lowered the temp (its browning well) to 300 for 10 more minutes and it is still shaking like Jell-O but not as much. So 10 minutes more and it's out and onto a cooling rack for 20 minutes or so. And then the flip and tasting any tidbits left behind. Yummy!

So here it is and I think two of those cherries must have been tidbits?



Thank you Chili Head for the idea!

Oh man that looks good!

How did it taste?

[TestRocket]

It's good and moist. Using the fruit juices in place of the water in the cake mix makes a big difference in the taste! Thanks for the recipe!

Had to have us some apple galette to warm us up this weekend. I'll post the recipe if anybody wants it. It's basically an open face apple pie.












And those apple peeler/slicers sure save alot of time.

iceman, that looks wonderful! 

Thanks for reminding me about Galettes - haven't made one in a while and this both reminded and inspired me.  It was the perfect end for our cassoulet dinner tonight.  Mine is simpler - no struesel topping, just apples, sugar and butter and a little apricot glaze for the naked apples at the end.
