cake recipe from ~ John Barricelli

So I had mentioned earlier that there was insufficient pineapple for the pineapple-mango upside down cake. The error was in the calculations, I doubled the cake batter and on the bottom of the baking dish there was only enough room for 6 pineapple rings, where I needed 8. oops!

 So I thought about this and came up with the idea of cooking pineapple on the stove top, adding the brown sugar and butter to make a sauce. I used 1 can of crushed pineapple in juice and over heat reduced it down then added 1/3 cup brown sugar and 2 TBSP butter and let it cook on low, stirring frequently. I sliced the remaining cake into squares and much like strawberry shortcake biscuits I make, sliced it again to stack.  Pineapple, cake, pineapple, cake with a little ice cream on the side. I would definitely do this again or make less batter. It's nice to have a little extra yummy goodness.

Happy summer vacation
