When I was growing up there was a lady in our church who provided pineapple upside down cakes to other parishioners for any and every life event. Not just funerals! If you were getting or had just gotten married, had a baby, were having out of town guests, were ill or recovering, she brought you a pineapple upside down cake. Funerals got you two, one at home and one at the after funeral reception at the church. She is long gone and that church is way in my past, but at every event in my life, either happy or sad, I still crave the comfort of pineapple upside down cake. Thank you Mrs. B.

That’s a sweet story. There’s something to be said for having a ‘specialty’ that people grow to love and expect, and which creates comfort.

I never had a recipe but it used to be common at church get-togethers, and I think it's very fast and easy to make.

If somebody has the recipe I'd appreciate if you would post it or a link.

I think it had crushed pineapple and angel food cake mix, don't know what else, was baked in a 9X13 pan.

Great story & what a wonderful thing to be remembered for.

Mrs. B will never be forgotten. She was as sweet as her cakes.
