Cast Iron Skillet Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Griffin

We've not really made many desserts on the BGE. Mrs. G doesn't have a sweet tooth and I shouldn't make a cake or pie for myself. Ever since I saw this recipe for pineapple upside down cake (courtesy of Colleen, Lake Conroe Egger's wife), I knew I had to make it. Mrs. G had to go to work yesterday and with no plans for me, I decided to try it out. Cooked it indirect at 350 for one hour.

Making the bottom of the cake (that turns into the top later)

On to the Egg

Done after an hour

Finished

Sliced up

Man that was a good slice of cake!! Didn't have a smokey flavor at all. It was moist and that top layer was to die for. I'm going to have to take some over to my parents tonight at this is my Dad's favorite cake and I can't have it laying around or I'll eat it all.

Looks great, Jason.

Funny, I have fresh cherries and pineapple and Alexis and I were just talking last night about doing pineapple upside down cake on her Egg tomorrow.

 Our local BGE dealer has cooking classes throughout the summer.  They are a lot of fun and they cook a complete meal during the class.  I don't much care for pineapple, but they made this just like the OP and it was delicious.

If you ever get the chance to go to one of these classes, you should consider going.  They are a lot of fun and as usual, you have people there who have never cooked on a BGE and people who think they know more than the chef.

Well get after it Chris. I'd love to see what you come up with. I'm bummed about my pictures. Seems like our weekend guests picked up the camera and messed with the settings. I didn't realize it until I was done. The very last picture was after fiddling with it trying to get it back to normal. Even editing the pics, the ones above are the best I could come up with.

Thanks, Griffin!  I'm going to share this and your blog with my daddy.  It is his favorite cake, too... he is always looking for new ideas and I think he'll love this!

My Dad's, too. In fact, I'm going to take the rest of it to him today after work so I don't eat it all by myself.
