How about a desert thread

[Chili Head]

   I had a hanker'n for something sweet tonight so I made a pineapple upside down cake. Although this one turned out really good...the last one I did in my iron skillet was way better  ;D



Here's the recipe

Any yellow cake mix will do ( I use betty crocker )
One can sliced pineapple
1 can of tart cherries
1 stick of butter
1 1/2  cups brown sugar

Pre heat oven to 350.

Melt your butter in a skillet and add the brown sugar then heat to a simmer.
Mix your cake as described in the directions except dont add water to the cake mix add the juice from the cherries and the pineapple instead. This will make your cake taste better  ;)
Place your pineapple in the cake pan first in any design you choose, place the cherries in the pineapple holes and anywhere else you want.
Once the pineapples and cherries are in the pan pour the brown sugar in the pan and spread evenly. Let the sugar cool a bit before you pour the cake mix in.
Bake 35 minutes or until the cake is done.

Enjoy!!

Looks great (but I was expecting a post on poached peccary, candied cholla, roasted roadrunner, or something similar).

You got me hanker'n for some pineapple upside down cake!  ;D

I had an incident with a cholla once.  It was not candied and it was not fun.  The porcupines of the plant kingdom.

Got three in my yard. Always carry a comb.

Looks real good, I will have to go buy a cake mix!

That looks really good, chili, I do think we need a Baker's thread here!

That does look good.  HAven't had one of those in years - left that for my mom.

Maybe I'm dense ... I read to add the brown sugar at two separate times, but only one measured amount indicated in the recipe.  Can you straighten me out?

I think he means to add the butter/brown sugar mixture to the bottom of the pan, the second time it is mentioned.

Doh!  Now I got it.  Thanks, Tim.

Something quick and easy and very tasty is Pistacio Ambrosa or

also known as Watergate Salad.

I also do a version of that with Coconut, but instead of one box

for the Pistacio, you need to add two boxes for the Coconut.

Not really Baking, but is very tasty.

Yep exactly  ;)

Have all the needed ingredients and I'm thinking of making this on Tuesday! I was telling Jan about this yesterday and she said that this was her Dads favorite! So it may bring tears to her Mom's eyes? My Father-in-Law was a good man to me!  ;D

Go for it!!
