Rosemary Pineapple Upside-Down Cake image

When it's time to get back to baking, you'll want to try this delicious scratch pineapple upside-down cake with a twist...a bit of fresh rosemary is sprinkled over the pineapple to create an unexpected, but superb flavor combination. Paula Marchesi, Lenhartsville, Pennsylvania, says this cake has been such a hit at church dinners that she now brings two or three.

This cake was a disappointment. The pineapple was dry and the cake was dense and flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe.

Just made this cake and it turned out great! The pineapple was juicy and the cake was fluffy. I loved the addition of rosemary, it gave the cake a nice depth of flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of pineapple upside-down cake, but this recipe changed my mind. The rosemary added a unique and delicious flavor that I loved. The cake was also very moist and easy to make.

This upside-down cake was a hit at my dinner party! The combination of pineapple, rosemary, and brown sugar was divine. The cake itself was moist and fluffy, and the pineapple was perfectly caramelized. I would definitely make this again.
