Description

I never feel like pineapple belongs anywhere but in a smoothie or eaten as is. Then I tasted a caramel-doused upside-down cake with a mix of warm gingerbread spices and I was sold. You can cook this version in a cast-iron skillet and even present it without unmolding. You can also use a heavy-bottomed stainless skillet. I love to serve this piping hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but you can also serve with a scoop of lemon sorbet. You can also get away with canned pineapple (which I love) but the fruit ends up more cooked and with less texture.
