The Best Pineapple Upside Down Cake

Dessert Person with Claire Saffitz • Season 9 • Episode 2

About this episode

Pineapple Upside Down Cake is a an oldie but a goodie, and with just a few upgrades – like adding browned butter to the cake, swapping in fresh pineapple for canned, and perfuming the whole thing with good dark rum – it becomes a remarkably delicious and complex dessert. It looks impressive but comes together in one skillet. Check out this episode for Claire’s take on the classic as well as SNEAK PEAK AT WHAT’S FOR DESSERT, Claire’s new book due out Nov. 8th
