Tips:
- Use ripe pineapple: Using ripe pineapple will give your cake a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy, caramelized crust on the bottom of the cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before flipping it: This will help to prevent the cake from breaking.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature: This will allow the flavors to meld together and create the best possible taste.
