Butter Cookie Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Butter Cookie Pineapple Upside Down Cake: The way this cake is made you end up with a wonderful crispy butter cookie on top! I love the ease of this recipe and serving them in mason jars makes it easy to pack them up for a summer picnic or give as a gift.
When the jars are ready to bake they will be filled to the top but once everything bakes it will shrink just enough so you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream of a dollop of whipped cream. You can make this Pineapple Upside Down Cake with fresh pineapple of canned. If you use a fresh ripe pineapple like I did the cake will be a little bit sweeter than using canned. Which is perfectly fine with me. 😉

This looks so good! I love pineapple upside down cake!
is flour measurement correct? you say in ingredients to use 1/2 cup flour but in directions you say 1/4 cup flour in each jar and recipe makes 4 jars. should the flour amount used be 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup?
Hi Linda, The flour that is added to the jars is the flour mixture which includes the sugar and salt.
She means the mixture of flour, sugar and salt. That equals 1 cup.
