Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Sheila Chapman
Submitted by Sheila Chapman of Coolville, Ohio
Sheila submitted a recipe to the MOV Holiday Cookbook that she has been making for years. She has changed and adapted her recipe, though, making this dessert even better. If she had to describe her pineapple upside down cake, Sheila refers to it as “moist and delicious.”
